Very good. Didn't have oyster sauce or fresh parsley (omitted the oyster sauce and used dried parsley), but this was still great. Very simple, but the soy and garlic were a great combination. I will splurge on the oyster sauce next time though- its only a TBSP but I feel like it would spice it up a bit.
