Chinkiang Vinegar

I looked around a product to replace the soy sauce that is healthy and has a negligible amount of salt, as we know soy sauce is packed with salt and I found if I use it sparingly, it lacks flavor. I went to my grocery East and found the "Gold Plum Chinkiang vinegar", which seems to be very popular and gets great reviews. "Vinegar Chinkiang is dark, slightly sweet rice vinegar with a smoky flavor." It seems that this would be a great replacement for soy sauce, obviously not the same taste of soy sauce, but I loves the sound of it, and I'd be able to use it sparingly with tasty results.

The only problem is the ingredients: Water, glutinous rice, salt. "I looked everywhere to see how much salt is in it, but I can not find anything anywhere and I was wondering if someone could tell me how it could be in the vinegar, I think it would be pointless to replace salt with soy salt and vinegar.

When you talk about replacing the soy sauce in a recipe, it would be a total negative ... as replacement of Chicken Soup with lemon juice.

Would it be a delicious thing to add to your dishes? Absolutely. The good thing is that it would add a little acid in your food, which is a good way to get some flavor in there if you are looking to reduce sodium.

If you have a great sensitivity to salt, you probably do not want to cook with risk without solid nutrition information. Even if you find nutritional info for a similar product from another manufacturer on the net is probably a bad idea.
If you're not at risk of severe hypertension and have not been diagnosed with salt-sensitivity by a physician, you probably do not need to have a reduced sodium diet anyway.

I have a bottle in my cupboard right now and make a substitute, mix a little soy sauce with a little white vinegar and a touch of brown sugar, I live in Toronto Canada and we have a great community Asian, in fact, I just bought two bottles as was the case for 99 cents a bottle to my Chinese grocery in downtown.

Well ummm, I think we can, because it is salty ish, but idk

Since you're having so much trouble in finding a replacement why not make your own sauces and you can control how much salt you add to your kitchen.
