# Instructions:
01 -
Combine baking soda, soy sauce, wine, sesame oil, a little cornstarch, and oil in a bowl. Toss in the beef and let it sit for around 10-15 minutes.
02 -
In a bowl, stir together sugar, water, dark soy, oyster sauce, wine, black pepper, and some cornstarch. Set it next to your stove.

In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Cook the beef for about 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Take it out of the pan.
04 -
Use the same pan to stir-fry onion slices, garlic, and the white parts of scallions. After about 2 minutes, when the onion softens, it's ready.

Put the beef back in the pan with the sauce. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes as it thickens. At the very end, toss in the scallion greens.
# Notes:
01 -
Slice beef against the grain to make it tender.
02 -
If needed, replace Shaoxing wine with rice vinegar.
03 -
To thin the sauce, stir in more water.
