• 2 slices of ginger

Beef marinate:

• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon of white pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 2 tablespoons of water
• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch

How to Make Beef and Onion Stir Fry

Step 1:

Start by slicing the beef thinly against the grain. Transfer to a bowl, then add the salt, sugar, white pepper, baking soda, water, cornstarch, and oil. Mix until well combined. Let it marinate for a few minutes.

Step 2:

Place a pan over medium-high heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Use a wooden chopstick or the end of your wooden spatula and dip into the oil. If you see lots of bubbles, the oil is ready. Add the marinated beef and let them sit for a moment before stirring too soon, as it might cool the oil down too quick. Wait for about 10 seconds then give it a quick stir just till the beef changes color. Remove from the pan and let the excess oil drip off.

Step 3:

Make the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl.

Step 4:

Add 1 tablespoon of oil into a clean pan and add the garlic and ginger. Fry until fragrant. Add the onion slices and cook until soft and translucent.

Step 5:

Turn the heat up and add the cooked beef. Stir the sauce and pour into the beef. Stir everything quickly to get the beef nicely coated with the sauce. Turn off the heat and serve.
