I'm having friends over for dinner, already have potstickers and Broccoli Beef on the menu, and am thinking a chicken dish, considered General Tso's Chicken or maybe sweet and sour, but thought I would ask the community what else I might do, chicken-wise.

I'm a non chinese muslim and trying to do more chinese cooking (currently mainly learning about sichuan dishes since i like those the most rn) at home. I've found that alot of recipes i want to cook use shaoxing wine and that it's a very important flavour in alot of chinese dishes. So I've been learning about and experimenting with replacements for it in recipes and finding out if i need it in certain recipes at all.

I also know there's a large (over 10 million people) ethnoreligious group in china called the hui people and they're mostly muslim, and that there's also other populations of muslims in china. So there's got to be some amount of them that don't cook with alocohol. I assume that since they're from china and therefore the cuisine is part of their culture, they've probably found a much better replacement for shaoxing wine after growing up with the food than i have just researching online for a while. So I've been trying to find out what they use as a replacement but i can't seem to find any sources on that.

Does anyone here have any idea what chinese people who don't use alcohol in their food replace shaoxing wine with? Or do they perfer to omit the ingredient entirely?

Dense but soft, sweet and filling, I love it!

warehouse 3 has a handful of location I believe. it looks futuristic and chrome in there. really cool place that has both tasty food and fun presentation. good view of Shanghai as well. city is so large compared to other cites I've been in.

Dumplings filled with Chinese chives, eggs, wood ear mushrooms, and ground pork!
