      Hey everybody!

      I’ve been making so many of maangchis recipes for many years now.

      My I my struggle is with nappa kimchi and radish kimchi. I find I never yield a lot of brine (liquid). It always tastes good, but I end up with thicker red pepper paste. Can anyone help explain why? Are my red pepper flakes too big maybe?

      I have just made my 2nd batch of kimchi from Maangchi’s recipe 5 days ago and I am experiencing the thick red pepper paste. The only difference was that I added the salted fermented shrimp and I made way more kimchi paste with 3 1/2 cups of red pepper flakes. Thinking more is better, I put much more paste between the leaves.
      My first batch about 8 mos ago was perfect…. lots of juice. So hopefully someone will help us with what went wrong and why :)
