What makes black vinegar different from regular rice vinegar?
Black vinegar is fermented for a longer period, which gives it a darker colour, fuller body and more complex flavour. It has a mellow, slightly sweet taste that is less sharp than standard rice vinegar.
Can black vinegar be used as a substitute for balsamic vinegar?
Black vinegar can be used as a substitute in some recipes because it offers a similar depth and gentle sweetness. While the flavour is not identical, it works well in dressings, marinades and savoury sauces.
Why is black vinegar popular in Japanese and Chinese cooking?
Black vinegar is valued for its ability to add depth without overpowering a dish. Its rounded acidity complements noodles, dumplings, broths and stir fried dishes, making it a versatile seasoning across many East Asian cuisines.
