Mirin is not rice vinegar, but rather, rice wine!. You can buy cheap sake and add sugar, honey, or agave nectar to a slightly syrupy consistency and you have a good equivalent!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Substitutes: 1 tablespoon dry sherry + ? teaspoon sugar

Rice vinegar is also a good alternative!. Cutting back on the mirin is not all that cost effective!. Spend the few more cents, its worth it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
