    Yes, cooking sherry should work just fine. Mirin is actually a Japanese rice wine with a slightly sweet taste. Sherry isn't a rice wine, but it has a similarly sweet and rich flavor.

    I use a good brand of dry sherry. Don't buy the cooking wine in the supermarket. Buy something you would drink. It's not the same as mirin but it does work.

    In most cases, you could just leave it out or add the equivalent of water. You could substitute rice wine with shaoxin wine sometimes, but generally I'd just leave it out.
