Hi Maangchi .
I am having an issue with the kimchi juice. The juice is very clear. I made two batches from one kimchi base mix. This has happen before where the juice is clear and a little reddish. Am I using enough mixture for two batches of kimchi? Can I make another mixture and add it to the kimchi that is already fermenting?
Thank you

Hi, what kimchi base mix are you using? If you’re using the Japanese ones, it won’t taste the same.
Also, if the juice is clear it means you didn’t put enough gochugaru and didn’t use porridge. I’ve been trying all sorts of recipes online and found that maangchi’s is the best. Even my Korean friends order their kimchi from me. I made enough kimchi and failed enough times to know what went wrong when certain things happen.
Please try again from scratch using maangchi’s easy kimchi recipe. Be sure to taste your cabbage before and after rinsing to make sure that it’s salty enough. Also taste your paste before mixing. This way you’ll be sure to get awesome kimchi.
