One of the most essential Japanese cooking ingredients, mirin is a liquid condiment/seasoning that could be seen as the Japanese equivalent of white cooking wine. It is similar to sake, but has added sweetness and a slightly lower alcohol content of around 14%. Special cooking sake, which has a similar alcohol content, also exists, but cooking sake also contains salt. There is also another seasoning used as a substitute for mirin, known as mirin-fu chomiryo (mirin-style seasoning). It is normally less expensive than hon mirin (true mirin, or real mirin) and contains about 1% alcohol. Recipe: Sesame Chicken. Sesame Chicken (Serves 4): Combine 8 chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 lb), skinned and excess fat removed; 2 tbsp each Kikkoman Mirin, Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil in a large plastic food storage bag. Tie bag securely; mix well. Refrigerate 1 hour. Place chicken in single layer on rack, on broiler pan. Broil 5 to 6 inches from heat for 20 minutes. Turn chicken over; broil 10-15 minutes longer, or until chicken is cooked through. Sometimes mistakenly known as mirin rice vinegar or mirin rice wine vinegar, Japanese mirin dates back to the Sengoku period (c.1467-c.1603). It was originally consumed as a sweet alcoholic beverage, primarily by women and people sensitive to the stronger flavour of other alcohols. By the end of the Edo period (1603-1868), mirin wine was being used to make things like marinades for grilled eel dishes and dipping sauces for soba noodles, but because it was quite expensive, its use was limited to the wealthy and to restaurants. Then in the 1950s, due in part to the severe lowering of taxes on mirin and similar foods, its use became more widespread across the country. Mirin continues to be widely used in Japanese cooking to this day. |
