Black Rice Vinegar 500ml
The Essential Condiment for Authentic Chinese Flavor
Add depth, complexity, and a touch of smokiness to your cooking with Tung Chun Black Rice Vinegar. Produced by one of Hong Kong’s most heritage-rich sauce brands, this dark vinegar is a cornerstone of Cantonese and general Chinese cuisine, prized for its rich, malty flavor profile that stands apart from sharp Western vinegars.
Unlike white rice vinegar which is bright and acidic, Black Rice Vinegar is aged to develop a mellow, woody, and slightly sweet taste with a hint of umami. It is the secret behind the glossy, flavorful sauce in braised dishes like Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs and is the non-negotiable dipping sauce for dumplings (Jiaozi) and Xiao Long Bao. Whether used as a marinade, a braising liquid, or a table condiment, it cuts through richness and tenderizes meat beautifully.
