• 3 tbsp sesame oil (For the stir-fry)
• 1 onion (Roughly chopped)
• 3 garlic (Minced; interpreted as three cloves)
• 1 packet stir-fry mix (The source suggests a prepared mix, or a homemade mix of spring onions, red peppers, bean sprouts, cabbage, and carrots; packet weight is not stated)
• 4 packets cooked udon noodles (Packet weight is not stated)
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce (For the stir-fry)

Steps

1. 1

   Combine the beef strips with the marinade ingredients: 2 tablespoons sesame oil, baking soda, white pepper, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and brown sugar. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Heat a wok over high heat and add the sesame oil for the stir-fry. Add the marinated beef and cook for about 3 minutes. Avoid overcooking it, as the beef should not become too tough.

3. 3

   Remove the cooked beef from the wok. Add the roughly chopped onion and minced garlic, and fry until browned.

4. 4

   Add the stir-fry vegetable mix. Reduce to medium heat and cook until the vegetables have softened.

5. 5

   Add the cooked udon noodles and return the beef to the wok. Add the oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, chicken powder, white pepper, brown sugar, and ginger powder. Mix until the noodles, beef, vegetables, sauces, and seasonings are well combined.

6. 6

   Garnish the stir-fry with sesame seeds and serve.

Notes

The source does not specify the packet weights for the stir-fry mix or cooked udon noodles, nor an amount for the sesame-seed garnish. The suggested homemade stir-fry mix contains spring onions, red peppers, bean sprouts, cabbage, and carrots.
