Instead of Chinese rice wine
Nothing truly replaces its fermented rice aroma; rice beer or rice wine is the closest.
Rice beer or rice wineUse the same weight. Closest fermented rice flavour; if sweet, reduce by 10–20% and top up with water.
White wine vinegarUse 25–30% of the weight, diluted with an equal volume of water or stock; add off the heat. Sharper and more acidic, less rounded.
Clear chicken stockUse the same weight with 1 tsp vinegar per 100 g; for savoury dishes only. Adds body but not the wine aroma.
