Rice wine vinegar originated in Japan, and thus it has become an integral part of sushi preparation. But this simple vinegar pairs well with all types of fish and rice dishes. Rice vinegar is on milder side and pairs very well with fresh foods. It's also ideal for bringing a nice acidic balance to your dishes and won't impact their appearance, as it's light in color. Add it to meat marinades, cocktails, stir fries and sauces, or use it to pickle veggies.
