  I recommend that you don't use Chinese cooking wine on this otherwise excellent dish. All the Chinese cooking wines use the worst wine, and add a bunch of salt to the end product. Use drinking quality rice wine and you'll get a much healthier and better taste. You can get it online at www.chinesericewine.com. What you don't use on the recipe, you can drink!
