Chinese Black Vinegar

Chinese black vinegar is made from fermented black sticky rice or regular glutinous rice. It can also be made using rice in combination with sorghum and/or wheat.

Originating in the city of Zhenjiang in Jiangsu province, it is quite literally black in color and has a full bodied, malty, complex taste. It is mildly acidic, less so than a regular distilled white vinegar, with a faintly sweet flavor.

This is the base Chili Oil recipe with Grapeseed Oil substituted for the Vegetable Oil. I'm aiming for a more neutral oil flavor.

Sichuan Chile Oil (ChiliOil6)
Brewed on 2024-05-07

Similar to (ChiliOil4) this was split in to two containers; one for my father. The main difference with this one is that I toasted some of the spices before adding them to the oil.
