Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon potato starch
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon five spice powder
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 lb beef sirloin flap steak, sliced
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large carrot, peeled & cut into batons
- 5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- ½ large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 lb pre-cooked frozen lo mein noodles

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the potato starch and water until dissolved. Add soy sauce, shaoxing wine, brown sugar, five spice powder, white pepper, and sesame oil. Whisk until combined.
- Marinate the beef in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of the sauce for at least 30 minutes. Set the rest of the sauce aside for later.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Cook the beef in batches until golden brown (2-3 minutes). Remove and set aside. Add more oil if necessary.
- In the same pan, add carrots, mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper, cooking until softened (4-5 minutes). Add garlic and cook until fragrant (2 minutes).
- Cook lo mein noodles according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
- Return the beef to the pan with residual juices, add the cooked lo mein, remaining sauce, and scallions. Stir-fry until well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat, optionally add more water or broth to adjust the sauce. Serve hot garnished with additional scallions.
