Please let me know how to use this. Your help is very appreciated.

Edit: This is not a ready meal, it´s an ingredient and I am interested in what recipes to use it for.

    That’s rice wine, a type of cooking spirit, one moment.

        I found out that the sweet rice wine is called Jiuniang and is often used in a dish called Guìhuā jiǔniàng. I might try that one. In that recipe the sweet rice wine is used as a sauce/soup that has sugared osmanthus flower and sticky rice balls swimming in it.

      I am probably wrong but isnt sake “rice wine”?

      Why does alcohol have a picture of a child on it?

        The alcohol content of most 米酒 (and pretty much all of it sold in supermarkets) is 0.5% or less. You’ll get more alcohol from an orange that’s sat out on the counter for a while on a sunny day.

        This stuff is commonly used in sweet soups, often with glutinous rice dumplings, osmanthus flowers, etc. added. There’s also a form called 蛋酒 (lit. “egg alcohol”) that is like a sweet egg drop soup. And it’s absolutely incredibly popular with children here.

        It’s probably a cooking wine, so the alcohol probably evaporates, leaving the dish in a child consumable state.
