Soeos Shaoxing Cooking Wine, 51.24oz (1500ml), Chinese Cooking Wine, Shaoxing Hua Diao Cooking Wine, Premium Cooing Wine for Asian-Style Cooks

I use this 2-3 times a week and it saves a lot of money going with the 1500ml size. Good Chinese flavor rather than Japanese or Korean.

I guess with the advent of microplastics awareness I *should* prefer the glass 750ml bottle, but this one is a much better value that I Didn't Even Know About. (And also, I'm much more worried about a plastic cutting board, or a hot water bottle in a car. Even cutting my hand on glass, maybe. You can't ever be 100% safe.) I wish I lived where I could get my hands on a bottle of Shaoxing *non*-cooking wine. I buy real Sherry or Marsala when I want to cook with that - all things being equal, un-salted and drinking quality is better. But this brand is far superior to the substitution of a Western wine, in my opinion, for Chinese and even just asian-"ish" recipes. With a very distinctive flavor, It's the secret ingredient that brings my stir fry a little closer to what I remember from favorite restaurants. Oh, and I decant into the now-many-times-re-used bottle. The rest awaits in the fridge. (Maybe not necessary? But can't hurt.) A bottle looks nicer on my kitchen's lazy susan where Shaoxing enjoys a place of honor.

A boost for any dish, to deglaze pans, adding complexity to sauces and dishes.

The only cooking wine I use. Great flavor, size, and decent price

Good Sale!!!
