Substitutions for Shaoxing Wine

Step 1

Any of the above substitutes can replace Shaoxing wine in a 1:1 ratio, as long as the amounts called for in the recipe are less than 2 tablespoons. If using mirin, reduce the sugar in the recipe, as it is quite sweet.

The closest substitutes above are alternative Chinese rice wines (such as mi jiu) and dry coking sherry.
