White Vinegar – Part of Sichuan-Style Pickles in China

When talking about white vinegar recipes in China, the most commonly known dish is Sichuan-style pickles.  The Chinese add rosy vinegar with white vinegar and sugar to make pickles. The Chinese use white vinegar not just in cooking and baking, but it is widely used in weed control and cleaning. The Chinese prepare white vinegar recipes in their homes because it is known for its ability to keep weight under control and it may lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Also, the Chinese consume this ingredient moderately as they know that too much of its consumption, when taken with medications, can be risky to the health.

When it comes to Chinese white vinegar recipes, you can use this ingredient in sauces and marinades. The acid in white vinegar can function as a tenderizing agent for not just meat but also for vegetables and seafood. When you prepare baked foods, you can use white vinegar alongside baking soda. It will work as a leavening agent for your baking process. You can use distilled white vinegar in poaching eggs and of course for pickling. It will not affect the color of your pickles and will not distract the taste and flavor of your spices in pickles.
