Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine beef slices, baking soda, and water; massage until absorbed, then let sit for about an hour and rinse under cold water.
  2. In the same bowl, mix in cornstarch, vegetable oil, oyster sauce, and Shaoxing wine; coat the beef and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Whisk together the broth, black bean garlic sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper in a measuring cup to prepare the sauce.
  4. Heat the wok over high heat, add oil, and sear the beef until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side; set aside.
  5. Lower the heat to medium-high, sauté onions and bell peppers for about 30 seconds, then deglaze with Shaoxing wine.
  6. Add the prepared sauce, bring to a boil, return beef to the wok, and add snow peas; stir until combined.
  7. Gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry until thickened to desired consistency, then serve hot over steamed rice.
