Beef Onion Stir-fry

I would have started earlier. Slicing the beef and onions and measuring out lots of little amounts of sauce ingredientstook some time. But the end result was more than worth the trouble. I added a can of sliced water chestnuts, just because we like them. I will definitely make this again! We get the Costco already cooked sticky rice that heats in the microwave for 90 seconds and split it between the 2 of us, and we have a nice amount of leftovers for another meal.

Needs work, was bland and surprisingly lacked salty flavor Suggest: hoisin/sweet soy sauce (or sugar and extra dark soy), garlic, ginger, salt (or alternate) and green veggie such as broccoli or green onions. Also, added a little more corn starch flurry to thicken sauce.

Do not skip the baking soda, that's for velveting the meat. I don't know what the other person did, but this is a really, really common way to handle meat before you stir fry it and if you've ever gone to a Chinese restaurant and wondering how they got the meat so tender, this is how.

Skip baking soda I found the foaming to be weird and it hindered the browning of the meat.. I used hoisen sauce instead of oyster since I don't eat shell fish and that what I had. We also added broccoli. We enjoyed it over rice.
