Make the sauce by combining soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, and white pepper.

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok over high heat, then transfer the marinated beef into the wok without stirring immediately to allow a good sear.

After a beautiful sear, stir-fry the beef for about 3 minutes, then remove from the wok.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok, then add onions and cook until aromatic for about 30 seconds.

Add another tablespoon of oil, then add the rice noodles and stir-fry for about 1 minute until aromatic.

Return the beef and onions to the wok, add the sauce, and mix everything together.

Lastly, add the bean sprouts and scallion, mixing everything together without overcooking the noodles.
