What it is
Rice wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. It is a staple in many East and Southeast Asian cuisines, produced by fermenting cooked rice, often with the addition of mold cultures and yeast.
Why it's used
Rice wine is used as a cooking ingredient to add a distinct flavor and tenderize meats and seafood. It can also be used as a base for sauces and marinades, or as a beverage.
Health notes
In the US, rice wine used for cooking is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The alcohol content is typically low after cooking. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fermented products, but specific evaluations for cooking rice wine may vary. Evidence on the health effects of moderate consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others noting risks associated with alcohol.
Allergen info
Rice wine is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless a gluten-containing grain is added during processing, which is uncommon.
