Answer 1

Rice vinegar is a little less acidic than white distilled vinegar - 3-4% for rice and 5% for white. But, as Barbara mentioned, the substitution will work fine in this recipe.

In the USA vinegar is defined as acetic acid derived from a natural fermentation of fruit/berries, grains, etc. mixed w/ water. There was a time in the past, some 50 odd years ago, that vinegar could be acetic acid derived from coal or oil diluted w/ water. Current Federal Law prohibits labeling acetic acid derived from coal or oil as "vinegar". This type acetic acid is considered unsafe for human consumption.

Vinegar is made by a yeast fermentation of various sugars. The waste is alcohol. This is, of course how beer, wine, whisky, etc. are made. Then a bacteria (Acerbacter if I recall correctly) consumes the alcohol. The waste is acetic acid. This symbiotic culture of yeast and bacteria is referred to as the "Mother" of vinegar. Most vinegar on supermarket shelves has been pasteurized and filtered. If you go to a Health-food store where unpasteurized vinegar is sold, you can see the Mother. It is a cream colored, gelatinous glob. There will be hundreds of these globs about the size of a straight pin head floating about in the bottle. Occasionally it will be a disk about 1/8" thick and the size of the bottle.

Answer 2

You can always substitute vinegar but the final outcome will have a different taste. Shouldn't be to bad though since it will be used along side soy sauce.

Answer 3

It'll taste slightly different, but that doesn't mean it will be less appealing.

White vinegar is simply dilute industrial acetic acid. It's a cleaning product. It's always a good idea to use a good food vinegar instead, such as rice vinegar, cider vinegar, or wine vinegar.
