Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, combine thinly sliced flank steak with baking soda, Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, water, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, chicken broth, and cornstarch for the stir-fry sauce.
  3. Bring a pot of salted water to a rapid boil. Add broccoli florets and cook for 1-2 minutes. Drain and shock in ice water.
