Very easy and fast. A little on the plain side but a squeeze of lime at serving helped. Next time I will add ginger and more garlic.

I’m probably going to be one of those commenters that people say made a different dish, but honestly the simplicity of this welcomes your own tweaks! Here are mine: added 1 Tbs Aji Mirin, 1 1/2 tsp sugar and a dash of fish sauce to the soy. Because I like that. And it was very tasty! Served with steamed white rice, some sautéed Savoy cabbage red bell pepper and soy sauce, and buttered baby green peas (b/c some people here won’t eat the cabbage). Delicious quick little rice bowl!
