(5 from 2 votes)I make this all the time, at least quadrupling the recipe. I marinate mushrooms (reconstituted dried shitakes) or pressed tofu in it, so good! Then I use the mushrooms/tofu in rice paper wraps - I've made this for friends and they rave, and have asked for a jar of the marinated mushrooms! :) Thank you for this recipe!! (And I keep this in my fridge for months and it's fine! I also substitute white wine for sake a lot.)
Can you use agave syrup instead of brown rice one?
Can't use alcohol. Any substitutions?
I haven't tried it yet but just saw a suggestion to use 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar plus 3 tablespoons water for ¼ cup sake. I don't have sake on hand so will try the substitution. There also are non-alcoholic sakes on the market (as in 0%).
