    Hi Maangchi,

    How long can you refrigerate shrimp paste without it spoiling?

    I make kimchi maybe once every two months and I’m weary about buying too much.

    I love your website by the way… I’ve looked for something like this for such a long time. You are a pioneer..don’t stop!!

      Happy New Year!
      Salty shrimp never goes bad if you keep it in the refrigerator because it’s fermented food.

      Use fish sauce then. I sometimes use fish sauce instead of fermented shrimp paste.

    mattlai,
    Oh, I should have explained what is this used for. Sorry! Check out my egg side dish where I used it.
    You can use it in kimchi paste, too. 2 or 3 tbs of shrimp sauce (depending on your taste) will be enough for the amount of the kimchi that I made in the video.
