Ingredients

• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) baking soda
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) cornstarch
• 0.33 Cup water
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) sugar
• 6 Tablespoons (tbsp) soy sauce
• 1.5 Tablespoons (tbsp) Shaoxing wine
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) Chinese 5-spice powder
• 1 Pinch ground white pepper, to taste
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 0.67 Cup onion, sliced
• 0.5 Cup carrots, julienned
• 1 Pound (lb) green beans, packaged and thawed
• 4 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1 2-Inch piece fresh ginger, grated
• 1 Cup beef stock
• 1 Pinch sesame oil, to taste
• 2 Cups cooked rice
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) sesame seeds (optional)

Steps

1. Spread the sirloin strips on a plate or shallow bowl in a single layer. Sprinkle baking soda over the strips and toss lightly to coat. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
2. Rinse the meat strips with tap water and blot with paper towels to dry.
3. In a small mixing bowl, stir together cornstarch and water until there are no lumps. Add sugar, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, Chinese 5-spice powder, and white pepper. Stir to combine.
4. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the liquid mixture from the mixing bowl and reserve. Add the meat strips to the 2 tablespoons of liquid and toss to coat.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the meat slices, spreading them flat. Cook undisturbed for 1 minute, then stir and cook for another minute.
6. Stir in onion slices, julienned carrots, and green beans. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes.
7. Add garlic and ginger. Cook and stir for about 30 seconds, then add the reserved liquid mixture and 1 cup of stock. Stir frequently until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the sauce is bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in sesame oil, to taste.
8. Serve over hot cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
