Mirin

7 recipes 0 guides

Mirin brings gentle sweetness, light acidity, and a glossy finish to sauces, marinades, broths, and glazes. As it cooks, its alcohol softens and its sugars help meat, fish, or vegetables brown and cling to the sauce. The common mistake is adding too much: its sweetness can overwhelm soy sauce, miso, or delicate broth.
