But all I'm sure of is that you should wait until it has fermented because I remember in my younger days when my mother made kimchi, she told me something about how "gases" get released during fermentation and if you shipped it in an air-tight/vacuum sealed bag it would spell disaster! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/mailing-korean-food#post-2720 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 08:30:33 +0000 soko2usa 2720@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Thanks for your reply! I think I might just mail her some hot pepper flakes and a recipe instead, lol.</p> <p>Kerri </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/mailing-korean-food#post-2710 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 16:48:56 +0000 powerplantop 2710@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I did think of another point. Do you have a vaccum sealer? You could seal it up good in a vaccum sealed bad and overnight it. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/mailing-korean-food#post-2707 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 12:53:10 +0000 powerplantop 2707@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I do know that some companies will mail kimchi. But I have not tried it, but this is what I would do. </p> <p>First: no glass, use a plastic or an acrilic container with a very strong seal that will not leak. One of the hard plastic type kimchi containers from the korean market. </p> <p>Second: find a source for dry ice. </p> <p>Third: find which company will let you ship dry ice and what are the rules, paperwork ect. </p> <p>Forth: pack it in some kind of insulated container likie a small hard ice chest. Tape it closed.</p> <p>Fith: ship it overnight. </p> <p>They should get it in good condition but it will be expensive. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/mailing-korean-food#post-2702 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 00:19:48 +0000 soko2usa 2702@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hey all.</p> <p>I've got a friend in Texas (I'm in MN) and I'd love to send her some of my homemade kimchi.
