Ingredients:
water, glutinous rice, wheat, plum, lemon, pomelo, sugar, salt, caramel (sugar), licorice extract
It’s got a tangy, fruity taste that goes perfectly with Taiwanese food, but also great as a seasoning for grilled meats or cold salads. You could use it as a vegan sub for Worcestershire or in Japanese recipes for tonkatsu sauce and yakisoba. It’s not a good substitute for the rest of the Chinese black vinegar family. Compared to other vinegars, it’s very low in acid, only 3.1%.
This black vinegar is fermented naturally, steeped with pomelos, ume plums, and Taiwan lemons, and packaged in a long-neck glass bottle with a dispenser top. It’s colored with true caramel and has a hint of licorice extract, but not so much that you’d notice. The glutinous rice used in the vinegar is grown in Taiwan.
