it seems that all the recipes i look always have booze(alcohol) in them, surely there must be chinese people that don't drink. Saying it is alright to eat the food because the alcochol dissapates. Is like playing russian roulette. Not good for recovering alcoholicsAre there any chinese recipes without alcohol in them?
Am Chinese Muslim, I cook chinese food everyday.... none have alcohol in them :)
There are indeed many recipes that do not use alcohol, even if the recipe state any, u can easily omit it or replace it with something else. E.g chinese usually add rice wine to steam fish, or any seafood to remove the smell. Ginger would do as well in this case :)
I do loads of cooking, if you need any ethnic recipes, do email me, am more than willing to share ^_^

Many Chinese are Muslims or Buddhists so there are literally thousands of Chinese dishes with no alcohol in it.Are there any chinese recipes without alcohol in them?
Most Chinese recipes do not have alcohol in them. I have several Chinese cookbooks and most of the recipes do not have any alcohol in them. I'm Chinese %26amp; I have a very low tolerance for alcohol.
Here's a recipe that was handed down from my maternal grandmother through my mother. It is actually in a cookbook which the non-profit Chinese women's club used to sell. All the proceeds went to help fund the restoration %26amp; upkeep of the old Chinese temple that was near where the San Jose Fairmont Hotel is today. This recipe will ensure that the chicken meat is always tender %26amp; moist.
I accidentally forgot to put the timer on the oven %26amp; actually burned the roast chicken until it turned totally black, yet after I peeled the burnt skin away, the meat was still very tender, that's why I call it my foolproof chicken recipe.
Cookbook is called "Chinese Cooking Our Legacy" by CAWC (Chinese American Women's Club)
Five Spice Chicken (it is not spicy at all)
==============
1 whole chicken
Marinade:
-------------
1 Tbs. Brown sugar
4-1/2 Tbs. soy sauce
3 slices of ginger, cut into 1/8" strips
2 Tbs. Five Spice Powder (you can buy this spice in a clear cellophane packet at any Asian grocery store)
Instructions:
========
Clean chicken with salt %26amp; water, remove all giblets. Blot chicken dry with paper towel so chicken will absorb marinade.
Mix marinade in a large bowl. Add chicken to marinade. Cover and place in refrigerator for 24 hrs. or so. Turn occasionally.
Place chicken on vertical or horizontal roasting rack. Place in preheated 350 degree oven for
1 - 1 1/4 hours or until done. Cool at least 15 minutes before carving and serving.
Enjoy!
just leave the alcohol out completely or substitue a bit of rice wine vinegar.
