Can I use rice wine vinegar in risotto?












6














I don't tend to keep any white wine in the house for cooking and have a bottle of rice wine vinegar to use up - only used it once and don't know what else to use it for.



Could I use rice wine vinegar at the start of cooking a risotto?

            Yes, you can, although I'd suggest adding a little sugar to it to offset the sharpness of the vinegar. About 1 tsp in 3/4 cup of vinegar should do it. However, if your rice vinegar is "seasoned rice vinegar", then it already has sugar in it (and salt). Add no sugar, and decrease any salt you'd normally add by 1/2 tsp.



            Other substitutes that work for the wine in risotto are lemon juice (decrease quantity, add sugar), sherry (straight up), wine vinegar (add sugar), and white grape juice. Basically the wine at the start is just adding a bit of acidity and flavor.



            The most reliable substitution, as @moscafj suggests, is probably just to omit it entirely and increase the quantity of stock.

                      Other substitutes that work for the wine in risotto are lemon juice (decrease quantity, add sugar), sherry (straight up), wine vinegar (add sugar), and white grape juice. Basically the wine at the start is just adding a bit of acidity and flavor.



                      The most reliable substitution, as @moscafj suggests, is probably just to omit it entirely and increase the quantity of stock.
