Instructions

In a bowl, combine potato starch and water. Whisk until dissolved. Add soy sauce, shaoxing wine, brown sugar, five spice powder, white pepper, and sesame oil and whisk until well combined.
Add sliced beef to a large bowl and cover with 2 tablespoons of the sauce. Toss well and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Set aside remaining sauce.
In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add beef in batches, searing until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat until all beef is cooked, adding more oil if needed.
Add remaining oil if needed, then add carrots, mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper. Cook until softened and lightly caramelized, about 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Cook lo mein noodles according to package directions, about 3 minutes from frozen. Drain and set aside.
Return beef to the pan along with any juices, then add cooked lo mein, remaining sauce, and scallions. Stir-fry until well combined and noodles are glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat. Add a splash of water or broth if desired. Serve immediately with garnished scallions.

Notes

Marinate the beef for longer if possible to enhance the flavor.
Feel free to add extra vegetables based on your preference or what you have available.
Adjust sauce consistency by adding more water or broth as desired.
