Instructions

Combine potato starch and water in a bowl, whisking until fully dissolved. Add soy sauce, shaoxing wine, brown sugar, five spice powder, white pepper, and sesame oil, whisking until well combined.
Add sliced beef to a bowl and coat with 2 tablespoons of the sauce. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Reserve remaining sauce.
In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef in batches, searing until golden brown, then transfer to a clean plate. Repeat until all beef is cooked, adding oil as needed.
Add remaining oil to the pan. Sauté carrots, mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper until softened and caramelized, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Cook lo mein noodles according to package directions, drain and set aside.
Return seared beef to the pan with any juices, then add cooked lo mein noodles, remaining sauce, and scallions. Stir-fry until combined and noodles are glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and add hot water or broth for desired looseness. Serve immediately with extra scallion garnish.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can substitute the shaoxing wine with rice vinegar if desired.
Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when searing the beef to achieve a nice crust.
