Shaoxing
rice wine (also
known simply as Chinese rice wine) is used for cooking.
It is an amber colored wine made from fermented rice
and millet. Shaoxing rice wine is commonly aged for
10 or more years and it resembles the taste of dry sherry
(many Western cooks use dry sherry as a substitute,
but if you can track down real Shaoxing it has superior
flavor in Chinese cooking). It is used in a wide variety
of sauces and can also be used in marinades and dipping
sauces.
