Slice the beef flank against the grain.

Place the sliced beef in a bowl and sprinkle with salt; mix until the beef absorbs the salt.

Add white pepper, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, egg white, and cornstarch to the beef; mix to marinate.

Let the beef marinate while preparing the other ingredients; longer marination is fine if you have time.

Slice the yellow onion, shallot, and scallion.

In a pot over high heat, bring water to a boil.

Place the lo mein noodles in the pot and cook for about 3 minutes or until al dente; be careful not to overcook.

Rinse the lo mein noodles in cold water to stop cooking; drain.

In a wok over high heat, add about 3 tablespoons of oil.

Transfer the marinated beef to the wok; avoid stirring immediately to allow it to sear.

Stir fry the beef for about 3 minutes; then remove from the wok.

In the same wok, add 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat.

Add the sliced onion and shallots; stir fry until aromatic for about 30 seconds.

Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the wok; stir fry for about 1 minute, tossing to coat the noodles with the aromatics until heated through.

Add the beef, scallions, and bean sprouts to the wok; quickly stir everything together.
