Examples
For the No Claypot Chicken you make a really simple marinade of soy sauce, oyster sauce (which I replaced with hoisin sauce with spectacular results), Shaoxing wine, miso paste, salt, sugar, pepper and sesame oil.
But I take care to choose which wines I use-a combination of the best Shaoxing yellow rice wine, and an intensely scented white liquor from Tianjin called Meiguilu, named after the city flower, the rose.
Shaoxing too in Zhejiang province is on the steps of Big Wave Gulley as it provides a scenic stretch of cranes and diesel excavators.
