We loved this! Very week-night friendly and delicious. The fresh ginger really makes it lively. I doubled the recipe for our family with no trouble. I used London broil, sliced very thinly and it was tender and flavorful. I did have to substitute chicken broth for the hon-dashi and water and it worked out fine, just not quite with the same flavor. Next time I'll plan ahead. Thank you!
