    Hi Aeri~
    I just finished making the kimchi a few days ago, but while you let it sit in the fridge for a week, are you supposed to flip it over or move it around during the fermenting process in the fridge? Or just leave it be?

    @91dannyshum
    you mean.. soaking the cabbage part ?? you rinse them out later..and salt helps .. the fermenting process..if you don’t do that.. your kimchi will be sour easily..

    @InsightCreationz
    use salt instead ^^

  6. 91dannyshum says:

    is there a vegetarian option for fish sauce?

    @Jmichelle213
    Oh.. you have to let it cool first before you mix the past with other ingredients… ^^

  9. Jmichelle213 says:

    안녕 Aeri!!! Is the rice paste warm or cool when I add it? Does it go straight from the stove to the mixture or do I let it sit for awhile?

    @Cartoonist62
    yep.. that will work.. ^^

  12. aeriskitchen says:

    @1saku
    yep.. that’s normal… ^^ the liquid will be valuable ingredient for some of your Korean dish later.. so keep them well..hehe

  13. Cartoonist62 says:

    For the fish sauce, what type of fish is used in Korean Fish Sauce? I found Thai Fish Sauce, and the ingredients showed it was anchovy. Would that work?

  14. 1saku says:

    @aeriskitchen Is the kimchi suppose to get liquidy? After 1 day, I can see the liquid in the jar.

  15. aeriskitchen says:

    @HeavenlyCuteAngel
    oops.. sorry..but you can’t use red pepper paste for kimchi.. ^^:;

  16. HeavenlyCuteAngel says:

    Hello ^^ can I substitute red pepper powder with red pepper paste?

  17. aeriskitchen says:

    @1saku
    What I do is… for leaving it in a room temperature.. I put the kimchi in a big glass jar..and cover the rid..but don’t make it tight..just close it loosen…and the next day..when I put the jar in the refrigerator..I close the lid tightly.. thanks

  18. 1saku says:

    Do you leave it out for a day covered? How about the fridge part, also covered or not? Thank you.

  19. crazySaikhai says:

    @aeriskitchen ^-^okay thank you~
    try to search it tomorrow =D

  20. aeriskitchen says:

    @crazySaikhai
    some people use flour too.. but if you can have..I recommend you to use sweet rice flour.. it’s much better..

  21. aeriskitchen says:

    @poodlelover2003
    I love kimchi..but I agree kimchi is smelly.. hehe leave it at room temperature for a day or two will not be too bad.. because when it’s fermented.. and become sour.. it becomes smelly.. make sure after one or 2 days.. you want to keep them in the refrigerator.. aha.. your refrigerator might get some kimchi smell too.. oops

  22. aeriskitchen says:

    @blah6990
    thanks ^^

  23. crazySaikhai says:

    do i really need to take Sweet Rice Flour? can’t it be just white flour?

  24. poodlelover2003 says:

    Thank you for the video and I’m curious about the smell of Kimchi when I just leave it at room temperature, is it gonna be smelly? Thanks anyway and I will try this recipe some time.
