I was reading an article on Black Vinegar. The articles suggest that once folks try it they will love it. The article suggests to add Black Vinegar at the end of stir fries and also it is a vinegar used for dipping sauce like dumplings etc. Have you tried Black Vinegar?

Most I just use white vinegar and sometimes Apple Cider Vinegar.

For years I had a bottle of Malt Vinegar which we only used when I served fish. It sat on the kitchen table with all the other condiments.

I have also heard folks rave about Balsamic Vinegar though I have not tried it.

What is your favorite vinegar and how do you use it?

No idea what black vinegar is?
Balsamico is fantastic, but i have never made it myself. I am in the process of making applecider vinegar. And i love to add terragon to it to get the taste of it, great in salads, but very different to balsamico.

I put a little splurb of apple cider vinegar in my water quite often to help with digestion.

I use white vinegar for cleaning stuff.

And I know there was some balsamic vinegar in the best tomato soup I have ever eaten.

If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be ACV... just because I use it so much more.

I had not heard of Black Vinegar that is why the article caught my attention.

It seems to be a Chinese Vinegar:

I use a lot of black vinegar! a tiny bit can be transformative in a sauce. think about how complex a good balsamic vinegar is, it's similar.

it's funny, i always have that on hand, but in terms of other vinegars i generally just use plain white- learned to make sushi in japan with plain white, not a big fan of apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, rice vinegar, etc etc. I will occasionally make a flavored vinegar in the summer for salads, usually with red shiso (perilla), complex and lovely for many dishes. Or a homemade vinegar from fruit, usually strawberries.

i started making them this year - what a treat - google "make herbed vinegar"... too easy

left to right...

mint in rice wine vinegar
summer savory, rosemary and thyme in balsamic
anise hyssop in white
rose petal in white (OMG good!)
nasturtium in white (petals still in marinating - it is probably my favorite)
i pickle hot peppers which yield a spicy vintager as a by-product

making your own in the fridge is serious fun and you get all kinds - cheers!
