Mirin is a Japanese cooking condiment, similar to rice wine. Mirin is made from sweet glutinous rice and koji. The sweetness and wine flavor contained in mirin can effectively remove the fishy smell of food. The sweetness of mirin can fully bring out the original flavor of the ingredients, and it is an indispensable seasoning for teriyaki dishes. Mirin has the effect of tightening protein and making the meat harder. If you are afraid that the food will be too soft, add it earlier; on the contrary, if you are afraid that the food will be too hard, add it later. Adding mirin during cooking can also add luster and make the ingredients present a more delicious color.
