I am new to this site but have been a kimchi ‘maker’ for several years now. Love some of your advice. It’s really sound, even to an OLD(?) kimchi maker, hehe (that’s me). The nabak kimchi is new to me, tho; soo, I plan on making some next week. Heeere’s to kimchi making…it’s really fun, good stuff, too.

In reply to Skim. That is totally fine! No it won't make a big difference other than the spiciness.

Hello!
I am planning on making this for my kids this week! Can I leave out the gochugaru? Will it make a big difference in taste?
Thank you!

In reply to Caramaharaa. Yes you can. If your kimchi is already ripe, you probably don't need to leave it out again. Hope this helps.

I usually end up w more veggies than I would like—and not enough brine—to add to the amount of brine in an already open jar- can you add water and maybe leave it out again? Thank you-love the recipe!

In reply to Patty. Minari is water dropwort, aka Korean watercress. They are available at most Korean markets during the warm weather months.

In reply to Antara. Sure! It doesn't have to be a glass jar.

In reply to Sharon. Is it ok to use a plastic lock box or does it have to be a glass jar
