Brussel sprouts and leeks are shaved thinly and sautéed with butter, Meyer lemon juice and Mirin while Mirin-glazed bacon crisps in the oven. The crumbled sweet and savory bacon then gets tossed into the Brussel and leek sauté. Mirin highlights this side dish two ways, offering its sweet notes to the bacon and umami hints to the lemony brightness of the vegetables.
