Mirin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mirin (味 味]], みりん) is a common ingredient in Japanese cooking. It is 40%–50% sugar.[1] It is a kind of rice wine similar to sake, but with less alcohol.[2]
In Kansai style cooking, mirin is boiled for a short time. This removes some of the alcohol. Kansai-style boiled mirin is called nikiri mirin (煮切り味醂).[3]
Mirin is used in teriyaki sauce.[4]
