Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup of Mirin

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 cup good quality drinking sake
1/4 cup white sugar or 1/4 cup white corn syrup
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Mix sugar and water and bring to a slight boil for a few minutes.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Add Sake to the mixture a small bit at a time until the desired sweetness is achieved.
  • True Hon-Mirin is very expensive and difficult to obtain outside of Japan.
  • While this shortcut does not have the full flavor and complexity of a true Hon-Mirin, it is an adequate substitute when used as a sweetener in certian Japanese sauces such as teriyaki.
