What is Mirin?
It’s a sweet Japanese cooking wine with a low alcohol content that’s commonly used in Japanese cuisine to add a subtle sweetness to dishes. Made from fermented rice mixed with shochu (a Japanese distilled spirit), Mirin has a slightly syrupy texture and is an essential ingredient in many Japanese dishes, including teriyaki, sukiyaki, and tempura sauce.
What is Rice vinegar?
Rice vinegar is a type of vinegar made from fermented rice. It is a common ingredient in Asian cuisine, particularly Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Rice vinegar is typically less acidic than other types of vinegar, with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is commonly used as a dressing for salads, as a marinade for meats, and as a seasoning in various dishes. In Japanese cuisine, rice vinegar is a key ingredient in sushi rice, as well as in dressings for salads and vegetables.
