Rice wine and rice vinegar?!
I am making a dipping sauce for Thai garlic chicken. Here is what it calls for
1/2 cup rice vinegar (OR other type of vinegar: white, white wine, or apple cider)
1/3 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
4 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 fresh red chilies, minced OR 1/3 to 1/2 tsp. dried crushed chili
1 Tbsp. fish sauce
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
I have rice wine. Can I use that for the rice vinegar or should I go with one of their substitutes? If so which one? Thanks.

Rice wine and rice vinegar are two completely different things. Rice vinegar will give the dish an authentic Asian flavour. If you don`t have any you can use a substitute, but it will not provide the same flavour or taste as rice vinegar.

Use one of the substitutes, preferably the apple cider vinegar. If the rice wine is REALLY old, it may have turned to vinegar; but would not taste good. :)
