Chefs can use this seasoning to add an umami flavour, mild acidity, or sweetness to a variety of dishes.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s learn what this versatile product is made of, its various uses and which dishes chefs can replicate for their own restaurants.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Honteri?<\/h2>\n<p>Honteri is an authentic mirin-style sweet seasoning, the only difference is that the former contains only 0.5% alcohol, meaning it\u2019s easier to use than mirin, which requires boiling for the alcohol to evaporate.<\/p>\n<p>The seasoning can be added to both sweet and savoury dishes. Chefs can use it as a direct sugar replacement for sweet dishes or add a small quantity to savoury dishes for complex sweetness and subtle umami taste. This is a quicker and easier alternative that will give chefs the depth of flavour they\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<h2>Honteri Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p>The complexity and deep flavour of Honteri comes from its ingredients. The seasoning is made of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Glucose syrup<\/li>\n<li>Spirit vinegar<\/li>\n<li>Water<\/li>\n<li>Fermented rice alcohol (made of water, rice, alcohol, salt and rice malt)<\/li>\n<li>Sugar<\/li>\n<li>Citric acid<\/li>\n<li>Cane molasses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Honteri Uses<\/h2>\n<p>Honteri mirin is used in many ways, in many different dishes, for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To add a firm texture to soft vegetables and fish<\/li>\n<li>As a marinade for meat<\/li>\n<li>As an odour remover from seafood<\/li>\n<li>Sugar replacement<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mizkanchef.com\/en\/how-to\/how-to-make-sauces-with-honteri\/\">In dipping sauces<\/a><\/li>\n<li>In sorbets, as it keeps a light temperature in the freezer<\/li>\n<li>Glucose replacement<\/li>\n<li>Pan de-glazer<\/li>\n<li>To add a glossy shine to dishes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Honteri Recipes<\/h2>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mizkanchef.com\/en\/chef-recipes\/\">recipes page<\/a> has plenty of unique recipes containing Honteri, created from our experienced chefs.
