Kung Pao Chicken, for one, as detailed he

The Land of Plenty ('Sichaun Cookery' in the UK) cookbook pictured there
has many other recipes that use it too. Its a fairly gentle vinegar, and
its nearest local comparison would be to balsamic vinegar, I think.

Dips - Sesame oil, soy sauce, black vinegar (rice wine, sriracha
optional)

The best recipe(s) to try this would be sweet and sour pork (the
real kind), or Kung Bao chicken. Use the recipes in Fuscia Dunlops
book. Recipes also available on-line, I'm sure.

I make 2-3 times the amount of sauce the recipes call for.

Interesting information about the flavor. I need to open it as taste

Thanks, I thought it was a stronger flavor, more like cider vinegar.
I don't know what you mean by "real" sweet and sour pork. Do you have
a recipe to post? TIA

It *is* a stronger flavor. I never implied it wasn't. It's the strongest
tasting vinegar you'll probably ever taste (but not quite as acidic -
usually only 4%). It tastes like a strong, sweet, musky malt vinegar. I
have never used anythign except the Chinkaing vinegar, which is hopefully
what you have.

The pork (or chicken) is not battered and there is no ketchup or food
coloring the recipe.

I know Fuscia's kung bao recipe is out there if you search, but not sure
about the S&S recipe.

It's more of a condiment to be added after cooking than something to put into a dish, IMO. The dumpling dipping sauce idea is great, as is pouring a spoonful in hot and sour soup or other gooey, dark Chinese soups.
