What Can You Do With Mirin?
Mirin is a sweet Japanese rice wine used commonly in cooking. It can be used to add flavor and depth to a wide range of dishes. It is often used in marinades, sauces, glazes and dressings for seafood, poultry, meat and vegetables. Apart from adding sweetness, mirin also has a complex umami flavor that is perfect for balancing salty and sour tastes. You can also use mirin to enhance the taste of soups, stews and noodle dishes. It can be used as a substitute for sherry or white wine in some recipes. In addition, mirin has a deodorizing effect when used in marinades or water for cooking fish, tofu, and meat, eliminating unwanted odors.
