Steps

1. Mix the beef with the baking soda and 2 tbsp water; set in the fridge for 30 minutes. Don't let it sit in the fridge too long or it'll be mushy.
2. Take the beef out, rinse the baking soda out, and drain.
3. Mix the marinade ingredients into the beef and set it back in the fridge for at least an hour.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the gravy ingredients.
5. Cook the large rice noodles per package directions; drain and set aside.
6. Fry the beef in smallish batches in your wok; transfer to a bowl. Don't overcrowd or overcook!
7. Saute the onion, garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the scallions in the wok.
8. Give the gravy a quick stir to mix the cornstarch and add it to the wok. Once the cornstarch darkens and the gravy has thickened some, add the beef and the green part of the scallions.
9. Serve the beef over the rice noodles.
