Mirim, or mirin, is a sweet and syrupy rice wine widely used in Japan and Korea. Hon (translated as “real”) mirim is the highest quality category of mirim containing 14% alcohol and 0% salt. Here are some benefits of cooking with mirim:

  • Adds a pleasant mild sweetness and depth to dishes 
  • Masks strong fishy and gamey smells
  • Tenderises meats and allows for flavour absorption 
  • Extends shelf life if applied to raw meat before storing in the fridge
  • Adds lustre and a nice glaze to dishes when cooked together

Glutinous rice, rice koji, and shochu (allergens: yeast)

A true secret ingredient

I never knew the impact Mirim could make on a dish until I tried it!

The condiment I never knew I needed.

I had no previous experience of mirim before attending one of Rany's classes. I have subsequently become super dependent on it for my everyday cooking. I find myself reaching for it all the time. It's great for adding a complex sweetness to a dish or for masking a strong unwanted flavour. I now use it in all of my meat marinades to bump up the flavour and tenderize the meat. Such a handy and delicious little kitchen companion.
