What is the difference between mirin and rice wine?
Is it possible to substitute one for the other in a recipe?
It's generally not recommended to substitute mirin for rice wine or vice versa, as they have distinct flavors and levels of sweetness. However, if you don't have mirin on hand, you can use a combination of rice vinegar and sugar as a substitute. If you don't have rice wine, you can use dry sherry or white wine as a substitute in recipes that don't require rice wine's unique taste.
