| No Korean restaurants where I live. We only got Mexican a year ago!! I don't even like cooked cabbage (do love it raw and love cole slaw). Guess it is just something else I'll have to try. |

It defies description, you'll have to try it. You'll either love it or hate it. I love it. |

I thought it tasted a bit like these when I first tried it (which was on the plane on the way here):
I no longer hold that view, but before you're seasoned kimchi muncher, the taste may seem comparable. |

| Market Kim Chi is disgusting. You need to get an old women to make it. After school in the Spring and Fall, I would walk past a group of old Ajumas making their kim chi. One day I just sat by and watched for about 30 minutes. Some of the mothers of my students give me homemade. Nothing can compare. |

Hi All,
This has nothing to do about teaching (which is why I chose the off-topic forum) but I didn't know where else I might find such a large group who might be able to answer my question.
I lived in Korea for about 9 months and developed a liking for kim-chi while I was there. I am now living in the States and recently bought a gallon jar of kim-chi. When I opened the jar, there was a loud pop and the kim-chi was bubbling. Is this normal?
I know that kim-chi is fermented but thought the fermentation would have stopped by the time it was sold. The kim-chi was in a fridge at the store and has been in the fridge since I got it home.
All the kim-chi I bought in stores in Korea came in pouches so I have not seen this before.
Every time I open the jar now there seems to be a slight pressure release and a couple of bubbles but it is nowhere near as much as the first time and I can't be quite certain that I am not imagining it.
The kim-chi tastes normal, well, as normal as kim-chi gets.
Should I fear the kim-chi? |
I am a Korean and living in States, I buy Kimchee at Oriental store here and it happened to me too, NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
When too much Kimchee is in bottle and there is no space between the surface of kimchee and cover of bottle it happens.
Don't worry and enjoy Kimchee !! |
