Please let me know how to use this. Your help is very appreciated.

Edit: This is not a ready meal, it´s an ingredient and I am interested in what recipes to use it for.

The alcohol content of most 米酒 (and pretty much all of it sold in supermarkets) is 0.5% or less. You'll get more alcohol from an orange that's sat out on the counter for a while on a sunny day.

This stuff is commonly used in sweet soups, often with glutinous rice dumplings, osmanthus flowers, etc. added. There's also a form called 蛋酒 (lit. "egg alcohol") that is like a sweet egg drop soup. And it's absolutely incredibly popular with children here.
