镇江香醋 Chinkiang Zhen Jiang Vinegar 18.6 fl oz

This material changed my idea about what vinegar could be and what role it should play in savory dishes. In addition to the acetic acid flavor found in white vinegar this has a collection of umami flavors and smells that complement the flavors of soy sauce. Nearly any dish that employs soy sauce can be made subtly better by including this vinegar. My own kitchen has white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, umiboshi vinegar, homemade fig vinegar, and fruit-infused vinegars. As I continue learning to cook I am holding good vinegar in ever higher regard as an essentila flavor ingredient. I love the depth of flavor of balsamico; but sometimes it is just a little too sweet or too heavy. This dark Chinese vinegar provides a similar kind of depth and complexity without the heaviness or sweetness. I keep my pantry stocked with several years' worth of inventory and use it for every stir-fry.

We have been using this to enhance many dishes. Good well in noodles and rice when just a little tang is needed. Granddaughter puts it in everything

Very tasty! Great gor sauces. Dips, marinades.. This one has a nice "fermented" flavor.

This Chinkiang Zhen Jiang vinegar is very good and is much better than substituting apple cider vinegar in recipes. It's a must have in Pot Stickers dipping sauce as well as the stir-fry dish, Orange Beef. I would buy it again. Remember, always use any vinegar at the end of the dish as you do not want to cook it.

Just wanted to try and works well in Chinese style recipes.

If you have 3 or more vinegars in your pantry add this. I use on rice with tamari A piece of fich and steamed vegetaes added in.

the taste is less harsh than other vinegars which my husband and i prefer...i will be buying again... great to mix with soy sauce and a bit of sugar to dip pot stickers into

Came very well packaged, no leaking. It's quite a big bottle for the price. I'm excited to make Chinese style pickles with it.
