Can I use any of these as a substitute for dry sherry in a recipe?!


Question: I have:
Martini & Rossi extra dry vermouth
Martini & Rossi Rosso ( I guess regular?)
Crystal Comfort
Harveys Bristol Cream Original Superior Sherry

I need a 1/4 of a cup to go in a Beef Teriyaki recipe. Will any of these work or do I have to go to the store?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Go the bristol cream. Won't make a huge diff.

Otherwise if you have some dry white wine it will do the same trick.

It will change the tatse a bit, but if you've never done the recipe before will you notice?

Teriyaki has a sweet flavour anyhoo, so a bit of extra sweet in the alcohol wont make a huge diff. reduce the sugar if you like.

i really dont have a clue

Dry red wine.

Yeah i think the Martini & Rossi extra dry vermouth should be fine. Will still bring out out flavors and work perfectly.
Have fun cooking! Hope it tastes nice!

You can use apple juice, vinegar or the regular Martini & Rossi you have. I wouldn't use the vermouth, but the Bristol Cream would work too. I don't know what Crystal Comfort is so I can't say about that. Given what you have on hand, I'd say use the regular Martini & Rossi. Good luck!

use the first one or the last one

I'd go with the Harveys. Have a sip first, makes cooking easier.

hmm i dunno... i think i'd go with the harveys......

i think its your safest bet =)

enjoy your meal!

The Harverys should work.

Dry vermouth should work.

Absolutely! Use the dry vermouth, or even the other vermouth which is probably a little sweeter. I swear by cooking with vermouth... usually dry. Just use the 1/4 cup as called for. You might never go back to sherry.

Use the sherry, it should do well.

You can use the Harveys or cooking red wine. Actually for cooking Asian dishes which need some alcohol, I would prefer to use Japanese mirin (great for teriyaki as slightly sweet) & sake. For small amounts, Chinese cooking wines (Jiu) like Hua Tiao, Shao Xing and rose (Mei Gui) are also good & fragrant. Oh, another one I like to use is from Japan, Choya's plum (ume) liqueur; a drinking wine but great in marinades.
The Japanese wines are also good to use with Western food as the distinctiveness is not so strong as to conflict with Western ingredients, I always have at least mirin on hand.
