7 BEST MIRIN SUBSTITUTES FOR YOUR RECIPE: vegan and halal alternatives to use if you don't have it

Do you love teriyaki? Then, chances are you’ve had mirin before, as it’s an essential ingredient in the sauce.

It’s actually a rice wine with a sweet and tangy flavor. It’s a must-have pantry staple, which contributes to that umami richness of many Asian dishes.
