It takes about 10-15 minutes to prepare this dish, then you just have to wait a few hours for a deliciously sweet and savory meal. Of course - it won't be like a real restaurant, but it will be really good.
I consider this a basic recipe and usually serve it with boiled rice and broccoli. You can easily add flavors that you like - some options could be hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sriracha and chili flakes. It's also a good way to make lunch boxes and it's fine to freeze everything.
It is perfectly fine to use soy sauce with a low salt content, but I use the regular one and think it works well. Simply try and choose for yourself.
It is possible to use a number of different meat cuts for this dish. Flank steak seems to be the most common, but butcher's steak/hanger steak and sirloin steak seem to be common options.
