I bought some rice vinegar awhile back and have never used. Anything I should know about it? How can I use it?
TIA

rice vinegar is mainly used in asian dishes and homemade salad dressings.

I can post some recipe if youre interested.

Would love to it- thanks

This is actually a really great recipe...cause you can do alot with it !!!

3/4 c sugar
1/2 c rice vinegar
1/4 c ketchup
2 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs grated fresh ginger
1 Tbs cornstarch
2 cloves garlic, minced

Just mix all and let it boil for a while til it slightly thickens.

You can use it as a basting sauce for pork and chicken(deliscious on both ...just start basting towrds the end of cook time-kinda reminds ya of a sweet style bbq sauce almost-only w/a twist)

I also totally love egg rolls this is also great as a dipping sauce for those!!

my husband and dd like it over broccoli and rice and I believe this is also one of the sauces he likes w/salmon.

Boil pasta 8 to 10 min,drain, and transfer to a serving bowl.

Over med-high heat. Stir in garlic, sugar, oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly,til sugar dissolves.
