I'd be interested in some examples of dishes in which certain Chinese wines are utilized for braising (e.g., in certain abalone preparations), are included in a marinade or sauce or are otherwise deployed. What might the unusual taste or aroma qualities of certain Chinese wines utilized in cooking be, in your assessment? :smile:

I do most of my cooking with Shaoshing rice wine and then with dry sherry. Shaoshing has a more pronounced taste and is good for a dish like Sliced Fish w Wine Sauce. Sherry is less discernable. I don't use other types of Chinese wine and would be interested in getting information from those who do
