If I use regular white vinegar instead of rice vinegar, will that affect the taste?!
Answers: I have a recipe calling for rice vinegar, just wanted to know how much harm using regular vinegar instead would do, I am not too familiar with it. Thanks.
rice vinegar is sweet, noticeably sweet compared to the tart of reg vinegar.
i wouldn't say it would harm the recipe but i'm sure the recipe would end rather differently if you made it with reg and with rice vinegar.
i say try it w/o rice vinegar. depending on the end result you might want to try it again using the proper vinegar.
i love rice vinegar. i use it for sushi, salads and slaws.
saves having to use extra sugar too
rice wine vinegar is often used in the rice marinade for sushi rice if that helps you to recall its flavor. So, yes white vinegar will taste differently.
