Notes
- Mirin - is a Japanese rice cooking wine. You can swap with dry sherry, sweet marsala wine, or Chinese Shao Xing cooking rice wine. If you want to make it a non-alcohol version, you can avoid it or substitute it with a splash of rice vinegar and a dash of sugar.
- Gochujang - is a Korean fermented chilli pepper paste. It's ideal to add in Korean recipes. There is no exact same substitute for Gochujang paste but you can try with other chilli sauces like Thai Sriracha sauce for a spicy flavour.
