Instructions: Heavily sweetened wine, like a thin golden-colored syrup, used only in cooking to add a mild sweetness and to glaze grilled foods when used in a basting sauce. The alcohol content is 13-14 percent, and cooks often burn off the alcohol so only the sweet essence of mirin remains. ...If you cannot find mirin, do not try to sweeten sake with sugar as is sometimes recommended. Rather, use sugar alone, substituting 1 tsp. sugar for 1 Tbsp. mirin.
