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!

That's awesome! I'm happy to hear that. It is such an easy recipe too!!! I like making a side of veggies to go with it. So much flavor from the meat! Love the meat sauce!!! :)
