Chinese Black Vinegar

Chinese Black Vinegar is a traditional Chinese fermented vinegar, best known from the Zhenjiang/Chinkiang style used in dipping sauces, braises, noodles, and dumplings. It has a deep, malty, slightly sweet-sour flavor that gives dishes a rich tang compared with lighter vinegars. Nutritionally, it is used in small amounts and is very low in energy at 21 kcal per 100 g. It also contributes a little iron and manganese, along with trace plant compounds from the fermentation and aging process. Because it is mostly a seasoning rather than a main ingredient, Chinese Black Vinegar can add a lot of flavor with very little sugar or fat. Its overall profile is generally favorable when used to replace saltier or more sugary sauces.
