Again a delicious recipe from Wokkingmum! Check out her great wok-king site : "Let’s get wok-king" or just look at her chicken wings picture : it looks like it tastes and it tastes like it looks: delicious culinary standards from Wokkingmums’ private kitchen. (Which in my opinion she should open to start a restaurant…)

How to cook chicken wings

Weight loss tip from Wokkingmum

This is a frequent dish on our dinner table.
Sometimes, we have it as supper!
That’s why I can’t really find my waist lately.

Mirin substitute

This Chicken Wings recipe calls for "Mirin". Mirin (味醂) is a Japanese rice wine similar to Sake but low in alcohol content and Mirin is slightly sweet in taste. One could say it’s a Sweet Rice Wine.

If you don’t have Mirin by hand, the easiest Mirin substitute is sake added with some sugar and briefly boil it. Which in my opinion is a waste of good Sake …

Another Mirin substitute could be sherry or white wine with a little sugar. Yet best is to buy Mirin in the Asian section of your supermarket, should be nearby rice wine and rice vinegar.

Mirin

Mirin Taste: Mirin is an essential condiment used in Japanese cuisine, with a slightly sweet taste. It is a kind of rice wine similar to sake, but with a lower alcohol content. In previous Japanese times, Mirin was drunk as a sweet sake.

Mirin Use: Mirin is used to add a bright touch to broiled fish or to erase a fish’s smell. A small amount used in the place of sugar and soy sauce often improves a dish. It should not be used in large amounts, as its flavor is quite strong. It is sometimes used as a sushi accompaniment. Mirin is commonly used in Teriyaki sauce.
