Yes, you can. You can substitute Shaoxing wine with other types of alcohol, such as dry sherry, sweet vermouth, brandy, or even plain white grape juice if you prefer a non-alcoholic option. However, the flavor profile may be slightly different, and the recipe might not turn out as expected. If possible, try to get your hands on some Shaoxing wine for the best results. Additionally, make sure to use Chinese rice wine in recipes that require specific ingredients for optimal taste and texture.
