Additional Tips
This marinade is great with beef or lamb, and absolutely wonderful with chicken and pork. It also can be used with vegetables. Try marinated chicken and leek kebabs or use in an all vegetable kebab.
If you like more intense flavors, let the marinade simmer until it reaches the desired consistency.
Mirin is a Japanese sweet wine made with rice. If you don't have it, substitute mirin with the same amount of oloroso or a semi sweet sherry.
