Recipes using chinkiang vinegar
February 09, 2026
Chinkiang vinegar, also known as Zhenjiang black vinegar, is an authentic Chinese black rice vinegar with a complex, slightly sweet flavor. It’s a flavorful and relatively low-sodium option that can replace some soy sauce and oyster sauce to keep recipes lower in sodium while adding depth and tanginess. Commonly used as a dipping sauce for dumplings or in marinades, glazes, and braised dishes.
