Cooking tips 💡
- Chinese black vinegar has a milder acidity than regular vinegar and delivers a rich umami depth—adding it generously won’t result in an overly sour taste but instead enhances the dish with a sophisticated flavor.
- Avoid high heat when sautéing garlic, as it can burn easily and turn bitter; always use medium-low heat for a gentle, even browning.
