Tip/Idea

Storing Vinegar

There is nothing really special to store vinegar. Once it is open, store it in room temperature, but away from direct sunshine. There is no need to store it in refrigerator.

Fun Culture

Ginger Vinegar

“Jiang Cu” mandarin; “Guang Cho” Cantonese

Because of Mother’s Day, I want to share with you the Chinese culture of vinegar and mothers.

Traditional Chinese diet for new mothers is to have these ginger, pork hocks, eggs cooked in dark vinegar right after the delivery. The mother is supposed to have a portion of it every day for the first month. Why? (Check out the "Subscriber Exclusive" for the answer.

We will cover more vinegar fun facts in Chinese culture in June 2022.
