Notes[]
- ↑ Sweet sherry, while not as sweet as mirin, can be used in its place.
- ↑ A dry gewürztraminer or riesling from the Napa Valley or Alsace has almost the same balance of sweetness and acidity as the sake, and complements the ginger and shiso.
- ↑ Chilean sea bass has a very different texture from that of other fish. Even when it is cooked to well-done, the remains soft. Since it doesn't firm up, you'll need to check its temperature to tell whether it's done. Stab a small bamboo stick into the middle of the fillet. Leave for a moment, pull it out and touch the end. If it's hot, the is ready.
