Use rice wine vinegar in risotto

risotto

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?

Best Answer

I dunno about rice wine vinegar, but I always make risotto with a little bit of vinegar to omit the wine. I just use a little bit of vinegar watered down to a small cup, and use accordingly more stock.

I do this because I figured it might help with the acidity, although I have never verified it.

Numbers:

  • 30ml Apple Vinegar mixed with 100ml water
  • About 1l of stock
  • 250-300ml Risotto rice
