Along with the Japanese rice vinegar, Balsamic vinegar is an essential vinegar for my cooking. On the other day, I bought a bottle of ‘Aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena’, and it was so sweet and rich. I was glad that I had spent extra dollars for it.
This sauce is great for everything, chicken, pork, beef, fish, prawns, squid, bread, etc. And it can be used as a salad dressing, too. This time I used it for this salad with grilled chicken. A handful of boring salad leaves and 1 chicken fillet turned into a delicious dish with this sauce.
