Chinese Black Vinegar

Posted on 24. Jan, 2010 by in Ingredients

This is one of my secret ingredients in my pantry. Anytime that I think a Chinese stir-fry needs a little somethin’ – a splash of Chinese Black Vinegar always does the trick. It’s made with sweet rice that has been fermented, like fine aged vinegars. You can substitute with balsamic vinegar. You’ll find that Chinese black vinegar is that indescribably secret ingredient in Steamy Kitchen’s Broccoli Beef.

    Is black vinegar the the same as Chinkiang vinegar?

    Hi Teri, it’s the same thing but Chinkiang vinegar is the best black vinegar there is. More info here http://www.foodsubs.com/Vinegars.html
