Homemade Mirin Recipe

yield: 1/2 cup

ingredients:

  • 5 tablespoons (65 g) sugar, such as organic cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sake
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure cane syrup, such as Steen’s (optional)

directions:

  1. Combine the ingredients in a very small saucepan, such as butter warmer/melter. Bring to boil over medium heat, give things a stir to ensure the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Taste and add the cane syrup for depth, if you like.
