01/29/23: made a double batch with the following modifications: tamari instead of soy sauce, about half as much oyster sauce, mirin instead of rice vinegar and brown sugar, and slightly less sesame oil. i also added some steamed broccoli. it was very good, but a little too salty for some. next time i would reduce tamari or partially substitute with low-sodium (like the original recipe called for).
