What Are The Recipes To Try With Rice Vinegar?
Compared to vinegar consumed in the West (balsamic vinegar, wine vinegar, cider vinegar, etc.), rice vinegar has a milder and more delicate taste. Moreover, there is more than one rice vinegar, but many. This article will dive head-first into the Japanese culinary world with two rice vinegar recipes!
Vegetarian Rice Vinegar Make
Want a light, fresh, gourmet and summer recipe to extend the aperitif on the terrace with friends? You’ve come to the right place since we offer you a recipe for vegetarian makis with rice vinegar!
For this first recipe, you will need the following:
- 300 gm round rice
- 330 ml water
- 50 ml rice vinegar
- Three pinches of salt
- 10 g sugar
- ½ log of Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine
- 18 pieces of candied tomatoes
- One lime
- 1 g of wasabi
- One packet of Nori sheets (seaweed to make maki)
To start, you will be able to prepare the vinegar rice for sushi and maki. To do this, rinse your rice until the water runs clear (save the rice water for your hair!) and cook it in 330 ml of water. Meanwhile, mix in a bowl: rice vinegar, salt and sugar. Add this mixture to the cooked rice and stir gently, the aim not to crush the rice grains. Then let it cool until the rice is at room temperature.
Continue by cutting the log of goat cheese into sticks, then drain the pieces of dried tomatoes and cut them into sticks as well. In the tomato marinade oil, add the zest of a lime, then place the cheese sticks in it so that they take on flavour.
Once all the ingredients are ready, you can prepare your vegetarian maki. To do this:
- Place a sheet of Nori on a silicone mat (or cling film) and spread a thin layer of rice.
- On top, add a stick of cheese, a little marinade and a few sticks of dried tomatoes.
- Roll everything up, making sure that all the ingredients stick together.
- Cut the maki into several pieces and taste them with a hint of wasabi!
Vegetarian Sushi Rice Vinegar and Sesame Oil

For this recipe, you will need the following:

- 330 ml water
- 50 ml rice vinegar
- Three pinches of salt
- 10 g sugar
- Three mushrooms

Once the vegetables are out of the oven, place them in the marinade and wait at least 1 hour for them to soak up the flavour.
Meanwhile, prepare the vinegar rice for sushi following the directions in the previous recipe. Once the rice is cold, you can start forming rice sausages in your palms. Then put them on a plate and cover them with your marinated vegetables and thin slices of avocado. Use your imagination to test different combinations of vegetarian sushi!
How to Choose Your Rice Vinegar?
To choose a good rice vinegar, just check its composition. Ideally, this contains only rice vinegar, no added salt, water, or condiment. To further limit the presence of additives or pesticides, turn to organic rice vinegar.
If you want to incorporate rice vinegar into your diet, we advise you to start with normal rice vinegar. It’s the perfect vinegar to start with since it’s easy to use and season.
How to Use Rice Vinegar in Cooking?
The uses of rice vinegar in the kitchen are very wide! From seasoning round rice for sushi and maki to preparing marinades for meat and fish and making the famous Japanese vegetable pickles, rice vinegar fits into any kitchen. Know that it can also be used to twist a salad dressing by replacing the classic vinegar with rice vinegar and that it enhances the taste of any soup.
How to Store Rice Vinegar?
Unopened, rice vinegar can be kept for several months at room temperature, away from light and humidity. Once opened, you have two options: continue to store it at room temperature (its acidity prevents it from turning) or place it in the fridge.
