I seriously just throw a bunch of stuff together and never measure a freaking thing. I just kinda "eyeball it" to use a freaky Rachael Ray term.<br /><br /> Mirin is basically a Japanese light/rice wine, so I think any white wine will suffice. If it's a dry white, like chablis or pinot grigio (heck, even vermouth would work), add a drop of honey or a little sugar.<br /><br />If you can blog, you can cook.TKWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409505008377005185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298701075110623658.post-80831291999229516582009-04-25T21:36:00.000-06:002009-04-25T21:36:00.000-06:00You're amazing, KW.

I totally want to make Chicken Lollipops this week (am starting with a one-dish commitment because I am the World's Worst Cook) but is there anything I can substitute for Mirin? <br /><br />You know, I think I'm getting interested in the kitcheny stuff just from reading your blog. It doesn't look quite so scary/complicated to me when you talk about it.

I am excited to have found your blog (through Ink) because I've been a little more into cooking these days, so I'm glad to have some ideas!
