Toss beef with ginger and minced garlic.

In a small bowl stir together soy sauce and baking soda. Pour over beef and mix well to evenly coat the beef slices.

Set in the fridge to marinate for 30-120 minutes depending on the cut used.

While beef is marinating, whisk together beef broth and cornstarch. Stir in oyster sauce, sugar and chili flakes.

Prep snow peas by trimming the ends and removing the side string.

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add a generous splash of oil. When the oil is hot add the beef, separating the slices with your hands as you add it. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until just cooked through and starting to brown. Remove to a clean bowl and cover.

Add the 1/4 cup of water and snow peas to the wok and cook uncovered for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until most of the water has cooked off and the peas are starting to soften but are still slightly crisp.

Add the sauce to the snow peas and cook for about a minute, stirring until the sauce fully thickens. Add the beef and stir to combine and warm.

Serve over rice or desired noodles and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
