Marinate the beef

• Thinly slice the beef against the grain.
• Combine the beef with the salt, sugar, baking soda, water, egg white and cornstarch in a bowl.
• Let the beef marinate while you prep the vegetables and sauce.

Make the sauce

• Whisk the water, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch together in a separate bowl until smooth.

Prep the vegetables

• Chop the cabbage and thinly slice the carrots.
• Mince the garlic and separate the whites and greens of the green onions.

Sear the beef

• Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
• Add the beef in a single layer and cook until it starts to brown but is still a little pink.

Add the aromatics and carrot

• Add the garlic, the white parts of the green onions and the carrots.
• Stir-fry for a couple of minutes.

Add the cabbage and sauce

• Add all of the cabbage and pour in the sauce.
• Scrape up the brown bits and toss until the cabbage is tender-crisp and the sauce thickens.

Finish and serve

• Turn off the heat and garnish with the green onions.
• Serve over a bowl of hot rice.
