The basic marinade calls for 1 cup of light soy, 1 cup of mirin, sugar to tenderise the meat and my own twist to it: grated ginger. Gaz loves the ginger in the dish.
Teriyaki chicken with sesame seed
We also bought some king mushrooms for dinner that night. They're enormous!! I suppose they're not called king mushrooms for no good reason! It's a very meaty mushroom, with a strong flavour. I had no idea how to cook them, so stir fried it with ginger, and sesame oil. The combination didn't really work though.

Any idea what to substitute mirin with?? What does mirin actually taste like?

It taste sweet, and alcoholic - sorry not very descriptive since it is sweet Jap sake! Other substitutes are sherry, or white wine with sugar... which aren't suitable coz they're both alcoholic! Maybe just sugar will do the trick.
How about grape-juice??
no la... where can? like ribena?
Well, I was thinking that most alcoholic drinks are produced from grape anyway, so perhaps grape-juice would be the best substitute... unless I can make juice out of rice (to substitute mirin)?!
