Heng Shun Chinkiang Black Vinegar, 250ml

Chinkiang vinegar, also known as black rice vinegar, is a popular Chinese vinegar that originated in the city of Zhenjiang (also called Chinkiang) in Jiangsu Province. It is especially loved in Chinese cuisine for its rich, deep flavor with a slightly sweet and complex character. Here are some of its most common uses:

1. Dips and sauces
   Chinkiang vinegar is often mixed into dipping sauces for dumplings , jiaozi and dim sum . The vinegar gives a pleasant depth of flavour and a slight sourness that complements the savoury nature of these dishes.

2. Stir-fry dishes
   In stir-fries, Chinkiang vinegar can help enhance the flavor of meats and vegetables. It is often added to pork, chicken, or vegetable dishes to provide a slightly sour, rich flavor without being overpowering.

3. Sweet and sour dishes
   It is a key ingredient in many sweet and sour dishes , such as sweet and sour pork. Chinkiang vinegar offers a milder and more nuanced sourness than regular vinegars, giving the sauce a more authentic flavor.

4. Cold served dishes
   In cold dishes, such as cold noodles and cold cucumber salads , Chinkiang vinegar is often combined with soy sauce, sesame oil and chili oil for a fresh, spicy dressing.

5. Marinades
