Hello, I’ve been trying your recipes here because my hubby enjoys Korean food. Got couple of questions for you. Is “mihyang” the same as mirim? And how do you say “ground beef” in Korean?
Keep up the good work here!!!

Hi Ying Zi,
Sorry, I didn’t try Japanese mirin, so to be honest, I can’t tell the differences between Japanese and Korean cooking wine. I guess it is similar enough to use for cooking though, because usually my recipe doesn’t require that much (amount) cooking wine…which means.. it will not change the flavor that much with cooking wine flavor for the food.. thanks After you try the Korean mirim and see any big differences.. please let me know.

Hi, I just bought some korean mirim that I intended to use as a substitute for japanese mirin. I was wondering what’s the difference? I know japanese mirin is sweeter and has a less delicate fragrance than chinese cooking wine.

hi Rina,
Usually, I use very small amount of cooking wine.. for cooking meat… it helps the meat becomes tender..and remove some bad taste of meat..but it’s not critical for the recipes.. so if it’s marinating food.. I will say..marinate a little longer.. and skip the cooking wine.. your dishes will be still tasty.. thanks
