It is used to marinate meat and fish to alleviate their odor and add to a dish to bring up the flavor. It is as important as soy sauce and oil in Chinese cuisine.

By US law, it is treated with salt (1.5%) which acts as a preservative to inhibit the growth of microorganisms that produce acetic acid.
