Tip!
What's the difference between unseasoned and seasoned rice vinegar? Seasoned rice vinegar has added sugar and salt. In fact, some brands of seasoned rice vinegar have up to 530 mg sodium per tablespoon - a fair bit! This recipe calls for a seasoned rice vinegar that's lower in sodium. Check labels and look for one with no more than 60 milligrams of sodium per tablespoon (15 ml). We suggest President's Choice Seasoned Rice Vinegar.
