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
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large carrot
- 5 ounces shiitake mushrooms
- ½ large yellow onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 lb pre-cooked frozen lo mein noodles

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the potato starch and water until dissolved, then add dark soy sauce, shaoxing wine, brown sugar, five spice powder, white pepper, and sesame oil; whisk again.
- Marinate the sliced beef in 2 tablespoons of the sauce for at least 30 minutes. Set aside the rest of the sauce.
- Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef in batches until it's golden brown and crispy, transferring it to a clean plate.
- In the same pan, cook the carrots, mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper until softened. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Prepare the lo mein according to package instructions and drain.
- Return the beef to the pan, add the lo mein, remaining sauce, and scallions. Stir-fry until well combined and the noodles are glossy.
- If needed, add a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce. Serve with additional scallions.
