Slice 300 g of beef sirloin tip into thin slices about an eighth of an inch thick.

Put the sliced beef in the freezer for about 20 minutes to make it easier to slice.

Marinate the beef with 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of rice wine, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 tablespoon of water. Massage until the liquid is absorbed and let it sit.

Slice 2 medium shallots and transfer to a plate.

Crush and chop 3 cloves of garlic.

Slice 1 green onion for garnish.

Prepare 2 Shanghai bok choy by cutting off the larger leaves and slicing them in half.

Cut half a lime for squeezing over the noodles later.

Lightly beat 2 eggs in a bowl.

Prepare the sauce by mixing 3 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 teaspoon of sambal, and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil.

Heat a wok over medium-high heat until you see a wisp of smoke, then add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.

Add the beaten eggs to the wok and cook until set, then transfer back to the bowl.

Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok and add the marinated beef, searing for about 1 minute until browned on one side.

When the beef is 70-80% cooked, add the shallots and garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds before mixing the beef back in.

Add the prepared yellow noodles to the wok along with the sauce, ensuring the noodles are well coated.

Add the bok choy and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Stir in the cooked eggs and some of the green onions, mixing everything together.

Turn off the heat and transfer the noodles to a serving bowl.

Squeeze lime juice over the noodles and garnish with green onions.
