distilled vinegar
"Distilled vinegar, also known as virgin vinegar, can be made from just about any vinegar – for instance: rice, malt, wine, fruit, balsamic, apple cider, kiwifruit, rice, coconut, palm, cane, raisin, date, beer, honey, kombucha, and much more. As its name suggests, this vinegar is distilled from ethanol. ‘Distilled’ plainly means that the liquid component is separated from the base mixture. This produces a colorless solution with 5-8% acetic acid in the water – relatively weaker than white or spirit vinegar."

EYB Comments
Can substitute cider vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar for distilled white vinegar. For best flavor, wait 2 days before serving.
Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?
Accompaniments: Rice noodles with chicken and Chinese broccoli (Phat si-io kai ["Pad see-ew or Pad si-ew"]); Rice noodles with beef and Chinese broccoli gravy (Rat na nuea); Rice soup with shrimp (Khao tom kung); Rice congee with pork dumplings and eggs (Jok mu sai khai)
Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.
