What is mirin and how do you use it? Japanese seasoning explained
Mirin is an essential condiment used in Japanese cuisine. It is a kind of rice wine similar to sake, but with a lower alcohol content and higher sugar content.
The sugar content is a complex carbohydrate which is naturally formed via the fermentation process and not refined sugar.

The alcohol content is lowered even further when the liquid is heated and you use it in your dishes.
We are becoming more and more familiar with Japanese cuisine. However, there are ingredients that we know little about and mirin is a good example of this.
We come across it in many Japanese recipes and would like to know more about it.
Mirin is the sweet sister of sake. A rice wine with a lower percentage of alcohol and a higher percentage of sugar than that of sake.

The alcohol percentage varies, but mirin is usually below 10 percent and sake around 15 percent.
USING MIRIN IN YOUR DISHES
During cooking, the alcohol evaporates from the sauce, leaving only its sweet taste.
Mirin is, incidentally, only intended for cooking (not for drinking) and the texture is viscous and it has the color of amber.
Due to its sweet taste, mirin combines well with more salty sauces such as soy sauce. Together they form the basis for a traditional teriyaki sauce for example.
Mirin combines well with both meat and fish but also goes well with vegetables or tofu.
