  Shaoxing wine is a cooking wine, or some say Chinese cooking wine, that is a rice wine made for specifically cooking. Not for drinking, as it is quite salty :)

  Thanks Belinda for explaining it. You can use sake or mirin ( Japanese rice wine) as substitute if you cannot find Shaoxing wine!

Can you substitute frozen okra for fresh? Okra is not a fresh vegetable you can pick up at any grocery store
