Some useful tips: *
some of the canned tofu are tested and are already cut in the serving
pouches. So, you can do it with the simmering in the soy sauce plus the
mirin mixture. Though, boiling tofu in the sauce is very ideal, as it
ensure additional flavour.
* Mirin is the kind
of the Japanese cookery wine, sort of the sweeter version of usual
sake. The combination in making this Japanese wine generally consists
of the steamed rice, shochu, and komekoji. These are fermented to
create mirin.
There are in fact
two types of the mirin accessible in the market. Hon mirin that
contains about 14 percent of alcohol. This mirin has about less than 1
percent of alcohol, and is so more
ideal in cooking.
Shin Mirin is
frequently bottled in addition to has the yellow gold colour. It is
also used to arrange seasoning for the sushi rice.
