Momofuku, a culinary brand founded by renowned chef David Chang, has announced the launch of its own Rice Vinegar. Made with a proprietary blend of organic jasmine and basmati rice, the new product has been created for professional chefs and at-home cooks alike.
To make the unique vinegar, Momofuku takes the jasmine and basmati rice blend and ferments and ages it for several months, creating an organic and unfiltered rice vinegar. According to the company, the new product is best used to add acidity to salad dressing and soups or as a condiment for marinades and fresh seafood.
Momofuku's Rice Vinegar is currently priced at $12 and is being sold through the brand's website, where it will be offered alongside other popular condiments and food-based products.
