how to keep store-bought kimchi from going sour
hi im back. as i mentioned in my previous post, i buy my kimchi from a local korean market. super delicious, couldn’t ask for better. i usually buy 1.5kg of kimchi and it takes me a bit of time to get through it. when i get 1/4 left of it it starts getting sour and not the taste i’m most fond of. it’s still good don’t get me wrong, but it’s very gasified. what can i do to prevent this from happening?? i’d like for the taste to stay as it was when i first opened it lol. im not very familiar with fermentation so what im asking for is probably impossible what would i know
