In reply to Linda. Although I haven't seen the exact bottle you're referring to, I assume it should work fine. I’m currently using TTL Taijade Shaoxing wine as well. Give it a taste—it should only have a very subtle saltiness. Happy cooking!

Online, I can only find TTL Taijade Shaohsing Rice Wine, 600 ML. Can I use this instead of Shaohsing Chinese Cooking Rice wine? The online retailer doesn’t state/show the salt content. Thank you!

In reply to Dee. There isn't a non alcoholic substitute for Shaoxing rice wine. However, you can skip it if a recipe calls for only a small amount.

What would I use in place that is non alcoholic? Thank you!

Thanks very much, Wei! I find your recipes and the care you take to make additional information and suggestions (tips) to make for interesting reading. You are inspiring me to start cooking Chinese dishes which I’ve previously thought to be too time consuming!

In reply to Rick. I haven't paid attention to drinking Shaoxing wine but I assume some Chinese stores would have it.

Where can I buy the Shaoxing drinking wine, not cooking wine. Thanks

In reply to Edward Quan. The Shaoxing wine I use in my recipes contains 0.08g salt per 100ml. But I've seen versions (usually much cheaper) that contain about 0.50g salt per 100ml which I don't recommend.

Does the Shaoxing wine version you use in your recipes have SALT? Thank you. I find it very hard to find any unsalted Shaoxing wine where I live in Canada.
