Balsamic vinegar in mắm tôm (self.vietnam)

I realized that the kitchen was running out of lemon and lime after frying some tofu, so I ended up mixing the shrimp paste sauce with balsamic vinegar as the substitution.

Pros:

  • Sour and slightly sweet
  • Lasting longer than the fruits

Cons:

  • Lacking the freshness of citrus
  • Distracting flavor

I'd rate it 5/11, works but not worth trying.

Oh neat -- I have family there presently. I've never been to the RoK myself (too busy at work), but my wife has visited a few times. I know essentially nothing about Korea beyond economic statistics and some cuisine!

I like that sauce too. Especially with things wrapped in sesame leaf.
