    Yes, and we share a LOT of kimchi with others. I have several friends at work who adore kimchi. Yes, the kids have grown.Here is a more-recent picture.

    Yes! I was very fortunate with this cabbage. Sometimes I bought before and it wasn’t as nice!

    I’ve eaten expire gochujang without any problems. If the color and aroma are okay, should be fine!

    Have you made jajang? We always make extra and you have extra black bean sauce to put over rice or noodle anytime. (kind of like mother with spaghetti sauce :-) )

    It seems you might have to leave it a bit longer. Typically, the fermentation causes more brine to be produced so you should be seeing more liquid as it ferments more. Are you lids screwed on tightly? If not, it could be drying out from low humidity in your fridge.

    I believe it is black or purple rice, what you have seen. It is simply rice without the hull removed and when cooked, it has a dark purplish color to it and has a nutty flavor. There are different varieties such as short grain, jasmine (long grain) and sweet (stickly) purple rice.

    I certainly will! Now I’m looking forward to making white kimchi. I was just looking at Maangchi’s recipe for that today. It looks delicious and would make an excellent side dish to a spicey main dish, not to mention add more variety to what’s available in the Dimchae!

    Haha, Lynn. I think you’re right! You should have seen the look of disbelief from the quizzical korean ladies at the store who were amazed that a white guy likes Kimchi and the see their faces when I tell them I make it and then see their face when I tell them I was buying a dimchae! I’m a weirdo! But is it not all worth it to have the very best Kimchi at your convenience! ?
