What can i use to replace dry sherry in a recipie

Question

have a chinese recipie but no dry sherry

Answer 1

If you have no rice wine you could add a touch of vinegar

Answer 2

Sake will also work, also if you have an Asian grocery store near you, they might carry Mirin, which is Japanese cooking wine, the flavor won't be exactly the same, but it should still be pretty awesome.

Answer 3

just replace it with a dry wine (white)

Answer 4

Probably the best thing is just to leave it out. It will work OK.

Dry sherry is itself a substitute for the Chinese wine used in the original recipe.
