Shaoxing rice wine is a key ingredient in many Chinese dishes. Just like Western cooking uses red or white wine, Shaoxing Wine adds depth and complexity to your dishes. You can use the amber coloured wine in stir-fries, marinades, sauces and braised dishes.
Recipes that use this ingredient:
Kung Pao Chicken
Alc. 13.5% Vol
Allergens: GLUTEN(wheat)
Ingredients: Water(54.1%), Rice(40.3%), Wheat(5.6%)
All the SF and ingredients are curated by Ben and Alice - don’t expect a choice of six different brands of sesame oil (say), expect the one Ben loves and that’s on the shelf in his own kitchen. So many of the items stocked have a story behind them. The recipes on the site are well worth a look - achievable recipes for a busy life that deliver big on flavour. My favourites are the different White Mausu sauces - give everything a good bit of zing, the Don Bicarte Anchovies and of course Tajin.
We specifically bought the Shaoxing Wine to use an ingredient for making crab and sweet corn soup. The wine certainly added to the finish flavour of the soup. Excellent production.
Thank you Ben and Alice for introducing yet another great drop to your range.

Wonderful ham, a real treat in a peach and ham salad.
Amazing, first order with Somerset and went very smooth, found the breadsticks that make me dribble and stock up a few. Well pack with no damage to the bags and super protected! Will be ordering again from this shop :)
Excellent in every way thanks
