You’ll want to add this ginger, star anise and bird chili infused asian hot pepper vinegar to everything! It is so good and can jazz up the plainest of dishes or fill the empty space when a dish just needs a certain je ne sais quoi. I love it in stir fries, with a touch of sugar and tamari, you’ve got yourself a full on yummy sauce. Its delicious added to thai soups and curries, added to salad dressings, sautéed vegetables, the list goes on. You can try infusing vinegar with different hot peppers and spices for a different effect. Garlic, peppercorn, and habanero infused white wine vinegar is great for more South American style.
