This is another example of Filipino-Chinese cuisine. I have used baking soda to tenderise the meat, which was necessary because of the cheap cut of beef. Feel free to omit the step if you're using tenderloin or other cut that might not need it. I have again omitted all onion and garlic; if you want them, add them when you stir fry the ginger. 🇵🇭🇨🇳
