[Ottogi] Mihyang – Cooking Wine & Meat Tenderizer (미향) (900ml)
The Multi-Tasking Kitchen Secret. Mihyang (meaning "Flavor Aroma") is Korea’s answer to Japanese Mirin, but with a specialized formula designed for the diverse needs of Korean cuisine. It is a high-quality cooking seasoning that goes beyond just adding sweetness; it effectively eliminates unwanted odors from meat and fish, tenderizes proteins, and adds a professional, glossy sheen to your stir-fries and braised dishes.

Alcohol Content: Contains a very small amount (typically <1%), classified as a food seasoning, not an alcoholic beverage.

(Allergen Statement: Contains Wheat (Malt). Naturally Vegan-friendly.) ✅🌱
💡 Why Ottogi Mihyang is a Must-Have
-
Triple Action: It deodorizes, tenderizes, and brightens. Use it whenever you are working with raw animal proteins to ensure a clean, high-end taste. 📉🐟
-
Glossy Finish: The glucose in Mihyang creates a beautiful, appetizing glaze on dishes like Jorim (braised fish/potatoes) or Bulgogi that sugar alone cannot achieve.
-
Prevents Breaking: When cooking fish, a splash of Mihyang helps the flesh stay firm and prevents it from falling apart in the pan. 🍳
-
Value Size: This 900ml bottle is the perfect "pantry staple" size for families who cook Asian meals frequently.
👨🍳 How to Use It
-
Meat Marinades (Bulgogi/Galbi): Add 1–2 tablespoons per 500g of meat. It helps the soy sauce penetrate deeper into the meat and makes it much more tender. 🥩
-
Fish Dishes: Brush onto fish before grilling or add to the poaching liquid. It removes that "muddy" or "fishy" aftertaste instantly. 🐟
-
Stir-fry Sauces: Mix with soy sauce and oyster sauce for an instant, restaurant-quality stir-fry base. 🥢
-
Ramen/Soup Base: Add a teaspoon to your soup broth to add a subtle depth and round out the saltiness of the soy sauce. 🍜
-
Tamagoyaki (Japanese Omelet): Use a splash in your egg mixture for that classic, slightly sweet, and silky texture. 🍳
⚠️ Caution & Storage
-
Sweetness Factor: Mihyang is sweet! If you are using a significant amount, reduce the amount of extra sugar or honey in your recipe to maintain balance. 🍯
-
Not for Drinking: This is a seasoning liquid and contains salt and vinegar; it is not meant to be consumed as a beverage.
-
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. While it doesn't strictly require refrigeration, keeping it in the fridge after opening helps preserve the delicate lemon and nutmeg aromas longer. ❄️🛡️
