If it were in Sichuan, Chen Mo would definitely carefully prepare a spicy dipping sauce.
But this isn't Sichuan, this is Huaiyang, so Chen Mo chose to use the aged vinegar from Jingzhou, the one brewed at that grain station.
The taste of vinegar from Jingzhou is quite different from ordinary vinegar. For example, among the nationally recognized four famous vinegars, Zhenjiang vinegar and Yongchun aged vinegar are brewed from glutinous rice, with a focus mainly on fragrance. Chen Mo prefers to use this kind of vinegar during cooking.
Baoning vinegar is made from wheat bran and traditional Chinese medicine yeast, with a fragrance mixed with a hint of herbal pine, making it a perfect highlight when making sweet and sour or cold dishes!
