Thank you. In this case chatgpt got it wrong though. It´s an ingredient for cooking and I am interested in recipes.
I suppose i should have realized this a Chinese community post but i have never in my life seen an ingredient which contains rice on itself.
I am now really intrigued, what actually is this?
Also is rice not considered an ingredient?
It is sweet rice wine, produced by fermenting rice with yeast and Koji. As far as I understand it can be used as a base for sweet porridge, a base for sweet soups, an ingredient in sauces, as a leavening agent in baking, a fermentation starter and also as a base to ferment itself further into rice vinegar or (non sweet, higher alcohol) rice wine. Pretty impressive list, right?
Thats quite a list indeed. I know rice vinegar very well its what i add to my sushi rice.
Ive asked chatgpt again and besides drinking it it gave me these uses.
• Add sweet rice wine to chicken or vegetable soup for enhanced depth of flavor. Pour a little bit and adjust according to taste.
• Use sweet rice wine in meat or seafood marinades. Add about half as much rice wine as soy sauce or other liquid ingredients.
• Splash a little bit of sweet rice wine while stir-frying vegetables, meat, or seafood to heighten the dish’s taste.
• Pour a little bit of sweet rice wine over fish or chicken before steaming. It helps remove any unwanted fishy or gamey tastes and imparts a mild sweetness.
Very Interesting, that list implies that sweet rice wine can be used like Shaoxing wine, which is used all the time in Chinese cooking.
Are you using a translator of some kind because i am quite confused, if i google Shaoxing wine then Shaoxing wine IS a type a sweet rice wine so it makes sense that they are used the same. But rice wine i find online never has rice visible in the bottle like this… If they are not the same then english focused chatgpt might have them mixed up.
Could you show a picture of the information sticker on the side? I’d like to have a closer look at it.
