Shao Hsing Cooking Wine for Asian Cuisine - 600 ml
Shao Hsing cooking wine is a well-known and widely used cooking wine, originating from Chinese culinary tradition and rooted in the Shaoxing region. The wine is made from water, rice, and wheat, with added color E150c and a touch of salt. With an alcohol content of 14% vol., it contributes a characteristic depth and complexity to dishes that might otherwise seem simple. In Asian cuisine, cooking wine is typically used in smaller quantities during preparation to enhance and round off the flavor of ingredients such as meat, tofu, mushrooms, and vegetables. It is particularly well-suited for stir-fries, marinades, sauces, and steamed dishes, where it adds a slightly sweet and umami-rich nuance. The product comes in a glass bottle with a volume of 600 ml, making it a good size for frequent use in the kitchen. The bottle is easy to dispense from and keeps the product fresh for longer. The cooking wine contains WHEAT and is therefore not suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance. It is a staple in many professional and home Asian kitchens and is used by chefs and food enthusiasts worldwide. The product is ideal for those who wish to prepare authentic Chinese and Asian dishes at home.
