Cut half of an onion into strips and break up the onion.

Cut some cabbage into large strips and break them up as well.

Cut the beef into slices, making sure to cut across the muscle fibers.

Marinate the beef with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, a little bit of sugar, black pepper, baking soda, cornstarch, and some water. Thoroughly mix the marinade with the beef and add a little bit of oil.

Prepare the sauce for stir frying by mixing soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar.

Boil a pot of water and add the frozen udon to the boiling water. Cook for 2 minutes, then remove the udon from the water and add a little bit of oil to prevent sticking.

Preheat a pan over medium-high heat and add a little bit of oil.

Add the onion strips to the pan and stir-fry briefly for 20 to 30 seconds to get rid of the raw onion taste, then remove the onion from the pan.

Add the cabbage to the pan and stir-fry until hot, then add a little bit of dark soy sauce to add color and taste. Continue to stir-fry until the edges of the cabbage start to get a little soft, then remove the cabbage from the pan.

Heat the pan again and add some oil. Add the beef, spreading it out in the pan, and let it pan-fry until the bottom is slightly brown. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until the beef is 50% cooked.

Add a little bit of dark soy sauce to give the beef a nice color. Once mixed, add some water to the pan and continue to stir-fry until the water turns into a sauce that coats the beef, then remove the beef from the pan.

Add the udon to the pan, spreading it out to pan-fry. Turn the udon every 15 to 20 seconds until some of it is slightly charred. Add the stir-fry sauce and mix it with the udon until evenly combined.

Continue to stir-fry the udon until you can smell the aroma of the soy sauce. Add the cabbage back to the pan, mixing it evenly with the udon, and add some water. Cover the pan and let the udon and cabbage cook for 20 to 30 seconds.

After the time is up, stir a few more times, then add the beef and onion back to the pan and stir-fry everything together. Add a little bit of black pepper and give the udon a few more tosses to finish.
