Reply To: Kimchi issues! Help!

The top of the kimchi must be oxidized. Just remove the brown part or any white fungus.You still can eat it as long as the kimchi underneath is red. Koreans eat kimchi everyday, so we always have to open the lid of the kimchi. After taking some kimchi, we always press down the top of the kimchi with a spoon to let the top part be submerged in the kimchi brine and prevent it from being exposed to air. Open your kimchi lid regularly and press down on the top even though you don’t eat it often. You need to take care of your kimchi!
