Rice Vinegar

[bestfriendswithbenefits]

Is rice vinegar milder and less vinegary than other vinegars? I just substituted it with white wine vinegar in a thai dressing, and the dressing just tasted overpoweringly of vinegar. So, is rice vinegar much more subtle?

No, I'd say it's the same. Mine says 'light and mild', but I just did a taste test and boy it was perhaps even more sour than normal stuff. (have gross taste in mouth now too. WOW, that woke me up!)
