Shaohsing (Shaoxing) Cooking Wine Shaoxing Cooking Wine, also known as Shaoxing Rice Wine, is a traditional Chinese cooking wine that originates from Shaoxing in China. It is a type of rice wine that has been used in Chinese cuisine for centuries to enhance the flavour of dishes and add depth to various recipes. Shaoxing Cooking Wine is made from fermented glutinous rice and sometimes other grains, along with water and yeast. The fermentation process gives the wine its distinct flavour and aroma. It's important to note that Shaoxing Cooking Wine contains alcohol, which is mostly cooked off during the cooking process, leaving behind its rich flavour. This cooking wine is widely used in Chinese stir-fries, braises, marinades, and sauces. It is often added to dishes featuring meats, seafood, and vegetables to enhance their umami and savory qualities. In some recipes, Shaoxing Cooking Wine is also used to remove any undesirable odors from certain ingredients, such as seafood. When using Shaoxing Cooking Wine, a common practice is to add it early in the cooking process to allow the alcohol to evaporate, leaving behind its flavor. It's also used in combination with other seasonings like soy sauce and ginger for a well-rounded taste.
