About
This recipe is from the great Mark Bittman, though it is found in Japanese restaurants across the globe. Mirin is a sweet wine, but sugar is a fine substitute. All of these ingredients can be found at your local Asian foods store. For variations, try adding a tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, chopped Asian pear or apple, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, a chopped and seeded tomato, or a cucumber or daikon (or radish), sliced thinly and salted, with excess water squeezed out.
