Reply To: Sugar and grain free Kimchi?

I use Redboat40n and its excellent fish sauce. Chung Jung One also has a good fish sauce with no sugar. Its the one with the gold label. Its just anchovies and salt.

Asian or even Bosc pear are fantastic for ferments. You wont even taste it after its well fermented. Even fresh the flavor is very subtle. IMO its a must have for kkaktugi especially if you like it semi fresh.
