Lemon juice or a splash of white wine can add a similar tangy flavor For something savory, try a pat of butter, some soy sauce, or even broth instead of water for cooking

Hey there! When I run out of rice vinegar, I usually get creative with a few alternatives. A squeeze of lemon or lime juice can give your rice a nice tangy kick, and soy sauce is great for adding a savory, umami flavor. Sometimes, I'll melt some butter and mix in fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or basil for a super fragrant and tasty dish. If I'm in the mood for something creamy, I cook the rice with coconut milk, which adds a slight sweetness. Another trick is to use chicken or veggie broth instead of water for an instant flavor boost. Hope this helps, and happy cooking!
