Not over-whelming of vinegar.Good body.You can't go wrong with this. I can't wait to use this for a dipping sauce for dumplings and/or chicken! I will definitely buy again!!!!

I have been adding this to a lot of dishes (stir fry, wild rice soup, chicken dipping sauce) and I am surprised how just a little adds a lot of zip to whatever I put it on. It has a deeper flavor than apple cider vinegar. Very happy with it and I will buy it again when I have used this bottle up.

This is a great addition to your cooking vinegars. A little smokey, not too strong. Adds a nice flavor to sauces.

An essential ingredient for creating fresh Dumpling Dipping Sauces. Very high quality.

I am always looking for new spices, condiments, vinegars, oils, etc., for my cooking. I used this as a marinade for chicken thighs. Oh wow, what great flavor. I mixed the vinegar, olive oil, fresh garlic, fresh grated ginger, soy sauce and a small amount of red pepper flakes and fresh lemon juice. I marinated for about 1.5 hours, and baked in the oven. It was out of this world delicious. I can't wait to try a new mix with it. It came quickly and in good condition, and it is a large amount for the price. Vinegar goes a long way. I'm very happy with this product.

Just what I needed for my Kung Pao Chicken recipe.

I had never heard of black vinegar until I came across a Hot and Sour Soup recipe using black vinegar. Been using it ever since.

I just love this black rice vinegar, it has good flavour, I use other Chinkiang black rice vinegar before and did not like it. I use it in every meal, add it to soup, noodles whether it is in soupy form or stir fried.It has warm energy and nourish the blood according to traditional eastern belief.

Even though I find it quite a bit pricey, it's not bad and has a good flavor. It pairs pretty well with dumplings, so I'm happy at least about that.

Yummy!
