Frequently asked questions
What's included in the kimchi making kit?
The Korean red pepper (gochugaru), dried seaweed and rice flour, plus the fermentation bag and gloves, enough for two big batches. You add fresh cabbage and vegetables.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. It is a traditional recipe simplified, with everything measured and a step-by-step booklet.
How long does kimchi take to make?
It ferments at room temperature over a few days, then goes in the fridge. The flavour deepens the longer you leave it.
Is the kimchi kit plant-based?
The savoury depth comes from seaweed rather than fish sauce, so it suits a plant-based kitchen. Check the pack for the full ingredient list.
Can I make it as spicy as I like?
Yes. You control how much gochugaru goes in, so you can make it mild or fiery to taste.
How is homemade kimchi stored?
Once fermented to your taste, keep it in the fridge in a sealed jar. It keeps for weeks and mellows over time.
How many batches does the kit make?
Two big batches. After that you can carry on with your own gochugaru and cabbage using the same method.
