Mae: You can substitute sake (Japanese rice wine) with Chinese cooking rice wine. For mirin, I suggest that you keep a bottle in your pantry as it is very handy. If you do a search on my blog, you will find some recipes using mirin. Hope it helps.

Food-4-tots,

Besides 2 tbsp mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine )
2 tbsp sake (Japanese rice wine), any other subsitutes?

As it’s my first time learning to cook, i hope to use simple seasonings that are used often, so i won’t waste it.

Thanks

Blessedhomemaker: Freezing? Hmmm….sounds new to me. My personal preference is to braise dried mushrooms and stir-fry fresh mushrooms.

Thanks for the reminder, I’ve not cooked mushrooms for a long time. I like to use fresh mushrooms too and whenever I cook this (braise), I cook alot and freeze, saves me lots of time

Peanutts: I think it is the cost that makes ppl to rethink cooking it on its own. If you can find fresh and cheap mushrooms, do give it a try. Tks for trying my chicken in hoisin sauce and hope to hear your feedback.
