      Hi guys,

      A week ago I made maangchi’s kimchi follow her easy kimchi recipe. Today I realised I didn’t rinse the salt after soaking the cabbage (which is prob why the fermentation hasnt really started yet on top of storing it in the fridge)

      Is there a way to solve this problem? Also, would it be okay to ferment the kimchi at 19c degrees?

      I’ve done this before! In my experience, very salty kimchi keeps for a much longer time out of the fridge. If you want it to ferment at all, put it on the counter! And if it’s too salty to eat as part of your meal, you can still use it to make delicious kimchi-bokkeumbap, -mandu and -jigae!
