Marinade the beef with ginger juice, white pepper powder, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, potato starch (or cornstarch), and egg white. Gently stir until everything is well combined, then massage the meat for a few minutes until the texture becomes velvety. Last, add a drizzle of oil to coat the beef. This will separate the meat slices, making them easier to stir fry later. Combine all the seasonings in a bowl: soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, satay sauce, shrimp paste, peanut butter, and curry powder. Any brand of satay sauce will work. If you don't have shrimp paste, use two anchovy fillets (pound them nice and fine before adding). Heat the wok until smoking hot and add a generous amount of oil. Swirl the oil around to create a non-stick layer. Add the beef and spread it out. The heat is on high, so you only need to cook for about 30 seconds. The meat should be nice and charred, but the middle should still be undercooked. Remove the beef from the wok. Make sure you tilt the wok so you can leave the oil behind. Add the minced shallot, garlic, and ginger. Stir over low heat until they are slightly golden on the edge. Pour in the sauce and continue to mix, allowing everything to infuse together, creating sublime flavors. Your entire house should smell amazing by now.
