    Vegan kimchi, of course you can. Just follow the recipe without the fish sauce. You can ad soy sauce or liquid aminos instead. I do that all the time and it taste great.

    The blocks are now doenjang. It sits in a hangari maturing. The soy sauce by product is stellar — sweet, salty, beany, delicious.

    I have 4 more blocks maturing. Homemade soy sauce is like no other.

    I used whole wood BBQ charcoal. Wrapped it in cheesecloth to keep it in one piece. It worked.

    Kombu? For what? You can use a glass or earthenware crock as long as you can somehow put cheesecloth and a lid on it. Jujube are part of the flavor. Most Asian stores have dried jujubes.

    Korean food keeps rather well in the fridge. You can make an assortment of banchan, mix and match for meals.

    Fridge is fine. About eating, depends. Some are good cold from the fridge, some are good room temp, some are good hot. Whatever makes you happy.

    I am a fan of getting a stainless steel bowl, adding some fresh, hot white rice and anything I find in the fridge. Some sesame oil, some gochujang and/or bibimjang sauce mix with a spoon and eat. A fried egg or two on top if I feel like washing the fry pan.

    Am not the only kimchi eater, happiness!
    We did raised beds with an irrigation system and the heat boiled the soil. Plants are stunted. My perilla and tomatillos were 4 feet tall in WA and the greenhouse in AK here they are barely two feet tall. In fall we are going into the soil with compost, we have a huge compost heap, and amended soil. We have always grown most of our veg so not having a garden is quite distressing.

    Have you been to the Korean grocer in Orlando? Gainesville? Tampa? Orlando I think is best but not a weekly for me, a bit away.

    If you can not get a Korean cauldron, find a Hispanic store and buy a caldero. Amazon sells them . They come in a load of sizes. I use a medium for plain white rice and a large one for rice with stuff in it – rice and beans and such.

    First try at making doenjang. When the blocks are drying, do they get supper hard? Mine have been hanging for 2 days and I could build a wall with them.
