Instructions

1. Slice the beef into 1/4-inch slabs, stack them and cut into thin julienne strips.
2. Marinate the beef with 1/3 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp white pepper, 1 tsp dark soy sauce and 1/3 tsp baking soda. Mix well, then stir in 1 tbsp oil to coat. Set aside for 15 minutes.
3. Peel the carrots, slice them into 1/8-inch slabs and cut into thin julienne strips.
4. Thinly slice 5 garlic cloves, cut 3 scallions into stalks, and cut the dried red chilies into diagonal strips with scissors.
5. Mix 1.5 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar and 1/2 tsp five-spice powder in a bowl.
6. Heat a wok over high heat until smoking. Add 2.5 tbsp oil and swirl to coat.
7. Add the beef in a single layer, separating the strips, and stir over high heat for 2 minutes until nicely charred. Remove the beef from the wok, tilting it to leave excess oil behind.
8. Add the garlic, scallion whites, dried chilies and carrots. Stir over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until the carrots are slightly soft.
9. Return the beef to the wok, pour in the sauce mixture and toss in the scallion greens. Mix well and serve with white rice.
