Can I substitute Chinese cooking wine with rice wine vinegar in this recipe?

no. vinegar is sour, wine is not. you wouldn't substitute drinking vinegar instead of wine, would you no. you can substitute chicken broth, veggie broth, or beef broth, but the flavor will be very different. in all actuality, the alcohol does evaporate, especially since you're only using a tablespoon. that's not even enough alcohol to get a small baby drunk... just saying. DON'T USE VINEGAR.
