Hi Aizan,
As a general rule, omit the wine and do not need to substitute it with anything. The difference is quite small, and it is not very noticeable.
Also, if you see any pork recipe in Chinese, it can be substituted with chicken breast meat and coo the same way. That was how I did it when I worked in a pork-free restaurant before.
The above works in most cases, unless it is in some particular situation in which wine is the major ingredient.
I hope this is helpful.
Thanks,
KP K

Hello Kwan,

Thank you for being generous.

I am a believer of passing down food ‘secret’. To me, food is meant to be shared and enjoyed together.

My family has a secret too. We believe that families who sat n eat together stays together.

May i ask you one question,. What is a great halal substitute for shaoxing wine?

Thk u agn.

Hi Kwan

Do you use pork belly with skin or without skin?

Thanks

In reply to KAREN L JONES. I have never tried using corn leaves. I think it is workable but need more leaves (or make it smaller). I am eager to know the result too.

we have plenty of corn leaves in my location. We use them for tamales (a corn bread layer around a chili spiced meat). We wrap the corn leaf around the corn batter that is layered with the chili and then boil the corn leaf packet for a few hours. These are called the Tamale. Very good.
Any way. Do you think it would be okay to use the corn leaves for the rice zongi? Your mom in law recipe sounds so nice and I want to attempt it. xo
