A delicious blend of rice wine, vinegar and sugar, Ottogi’s Mihyang Cooking Wine is the perfect ready-made marinade for Korean cooking. Used for tenderizing meat, concentrating sugar levels and eliminating unwanted odours, the wine can be easily spiced to taste with chilli peppers and soy sauce and pairs perfectly with beef dishes such as galbi (marinated and grilled beef rib), pork, fish and vegetables.

With a mild and sweet flavour, the wine adds a slight acidity to a number of dishes and includes a range of ingredients from lemon to grape seed extract and other flavour enhancers to add depth and richness. Featuring a user-friendly bottle, simply apply as a sauce or ingredient for a versatile flavour that is guaranteed to enhance your meal.
