Apple vinegar is made from apples and has a yellowish color. It is very popular, partly due to alleged beneficial health and beauty properties. We use both brown rice vinegar and apple vinegar interchangeably for Korean cooking.

Short Korean Lesson

Can I use american apple vinegar or is it better to use the Korean Version?
hi Sherry,
american apple vinegar has totally different flavor from this korean apple vinegar..I will say.. just use clear vinegar american one (maybe you call white vinegar??) if you can’t get Korean vinegar..^^
Hi Aeri Lee,
Can i just use this SaGwa SikCho mixed with water and drink?
Your reply is highly appreciate, Thank You.
Hi Phoebbie,
I’m sorry I’m a little confused..Do you mean, if you can drink this vinegar my mixing some water? It is food ingredient, so if you can, you can. I’m just not sure if you will like the flavor to drink vinegar mixed with water. There is some vinegar drink in Korea… and they are more flavored with fruit, or other ingredients to make it like a drink. Anyway, my answer is.. if you want to drink, yes you can… just make sure that you mix it with enough water. thanks
