Question

Is chinese rice vinegar a good substitute for chinese cooking wine?

Answer 1

Not at all, rice vinegar is used for sushi not cooking.

And it has a sour taste.

A good substitute for cooking wine is sherry.

Answer 2

It does have a different taste, but it should still be okay.  How much does your recipe call for? --- if not too much, I wouldn't worry about it!

Answer 3

NOPE!!!!

Chinese rice vinegar is sour .......

Chinese cooking wine is sweet and has fragrance ...

they are not the same ...... same as western vinegar and wine ...you don't mix them up....

Answer 4

Depends on what you're making.  It should be fine.

Answer 5

No!!!!!!

Vinegar =/= wine!!!!

Vinegar tastes sour and it tastes a lot different from Chinese cooking wine!   They are different.  You may substitute Chinese cooking wine with Japanese sake or may be white wine but neither with vinegar.
