More fermenting,
We did and are doing kimchi. I say this because we have stopped the ferment process on jar one at six days. Will do jar two at nine days and twelve days for last jar. See if we can tell a difference. Recipe out of the ball canning and preserving book. Need to start somewhere right? Napa cabbage, carrot, garlic, Korean chili flakes, ginger, fish and soy sauce and green onions.
A bit of a story on this. While shopping for the napa cabbage it called for two medium ones. Approx. 2 lbs. each. What the store had were some real small ones and giant ones. We did not weigh but bought two of the bigger ones. Turned out we had close to eight pounds for a bit less then 22 dollars worth! 🤪 Note to self weigh it first ha. No worries we made good use to the surplus making roasted sweet and sour napa cabbage. Good stuff.
Taste test on day six. Good and hot. Picking up hints of ferment. A bit salty but digging into the jar a bit deeper less of that taste. We had to top off filled jars with brine. Thinking this top taste was form this. Should balance out when mixing up. Today the plan is making kimchi fried rice. Report on that later.
Then first jar. Can keep and use for six months.
