Yeah, I checked out the local Superstore, No Frills, Walmart, Sobeys etc. and no go. I suspect I'll have to find an oriental market.

Another option is to go to your local LC and pick up a bottle of cheap Gekkeikan sake. Mirin is sweeter so you would need to add some sugar. Bonus: you can drink what you don't use in your recipe.
I would have to test it first toe be sure of its quality. Since it has to marinade for a few hours I guesh I'll shtart now. Bettir make shure itsh of the highest kwality so I'd bettir tesht it again. Sheemsh goods. Besht be shoore and tessht it again. Geez, I love all you guys show much. I meanit Imbeingserioiush.

Mirin is somewhat sweet. If you have rice vinegar on hand, it's a good substitute, but you need to counteract the tartness with some sugar.
Need to be careful, here. The stuff that you'll find in a grocery store is a Mirin style "condiment" - it will have salt added and will have a lower alcohol content. Personally, I'd go with sake and just add a little sugar.

If you send me the recipe, I may just be able to save my marriage...
Yeah, the DinnerThenDessert website I got the recipe from suggests replacing mirin with white vinegar or dry white wine, adding 1/2 tsp sugar per tablespoon of wine. That seems like an awfully high ratio of sugar to wine / vinegar though. I grabbed some sake at the LC and will have to do some trial and error sampling. See my earlier post about sampling said sake.Need to be careful, here.

With that much sugar, the ribs could be the dessert.
Do let us know how they turned out. And as always, pics are welcome.

Pretty sure this is it.

If that’s the case, I would simply substitute sake with no other modifications. There’s already a ton of sugar in the recipe - any additional sweetness which might be provided by the very small amount of mirin in the recipe would be negligible. Sake is just the ticket.Pretty sure this is it.

Personally, I would just keep the sake for myself and say, sucks to be you, ribs.
Further… need to watch that meat like a hawk - that sugar will burn in a heartbeat. Particularly if you’re using a grill/bbq.Pretty sure this is it.

Here’s some boneless ones I did in 2020 as the centerpiece of a Korean themed dinner. You can see they started to burn.
With that much sugar, the ribs could be the dessert.
They didn't burn in the least and had a great flavour but we found them to be a bit tough. I also should have trimmed more of the fat off.
Live and learn. Trying to decide if I should do a copycat Cheesecake Factory Pasta Da Vinci for Valentines dinner - or maybe a truffled garlic chicken farfalle. Decisions decisions.

The wife is of German heritage, so she's getting sauerbraten mit Ingwerkeks Bratensoße, bratkartoffeln und sauerkraut. Schmeckt!
And after consulting with the wife we're doing creamy chicken marsala. The kids love this dish - I found the recipe on the delsh website.
It's funny - one benefit of the whole covid experience is that, since we had to stay at home, I discovered my love of cooking and trying new recipes.

Great job! They look like they’re cut to thick for this preparation - accounts for the tough texture.
Hey, I was going to go back on Atkins starting in February but then they brought back the McRib! I don't do McDonalds very often - when we get it for our kids I'm usually scouring the fridge for pretty much anything else. But I rejoiced when they brought back the McRib. The ten or so years it's been since it was last in Winnipeg bordered on the abusive.
For an extra $1.49 or so you can get a double McRib. Money well spent.

I'm doing oven baked chicken wings for dinner tonight and found this recipe:
www.recipetineats.com
It calls for the wings to be tossed in baking powder and salt rather than flour like most recipes. Thoughts? Have any of you try using baking powder to coat chicken wings? Would they be as great as the recipe author suggests?

My older sister married a guy who cooks and he uses baking powder when he does his chicken. Really good chicken, too, like out of a deep fryer. The one big caution is to make sure your powder does NOT contain aluminum. They always used Rumford Baking Powder because apparently other powder brands leave you with a bitter tasting chicken.
