Asked in Rice, Vinegar
Can white vinegar be used as a substitute for rice vinegar?

the answer is NO! don't ever do that. use white
vinegar strictly! white rice vinegar is only for starchy foods
believe me.
I disagree with the above answer. White vinegar is usually made
from distilled alcohol and white rice vinegar is of course made
from white rice. White vinegar is usually sharper in flavor and
mass produced. While white rice vinegar can either be mass produced
or made from artisan manufacturers. The writer of the recipe most
likely had a particular flavor profile in mind that could be
created with the rice vinegar as opposed to the white but, it
should not ruin your dish if you substitute.
