Is this kimchi normal? I’ve never eaten it before and it tastes very fizzy, like soda. The vegetables are crunchy and appear normal

I aspire to get fizzy kimchi! It’s a sign of happy microbes and great fermentation.

Ahh the discovery of what fermentation really is.

Older kimchi, not that that’s bad, just fermented longer is all. My mom would wait for kimchi to get this old so she could fry it. I think she thought it tasted better but idk.

that’s how kimchi is supposed to eventually taste.

The word you’re looking for is ‘effervescent’, and sounds perfect.

You want the fizzy. Once you have the fizzy, you chase the fizzy. Long live the fizzy.

It’s normal. If the lid is kept on tight during fermentation it becomes carbonated – just like beer and champagne. If you don’t like it fizzy, just leave the lid slightly loose for a few days and it will go flat again.

I’ve experienced that but don’t enjoy it myself.

How much rice flour y’all using that makes it carbonated

this happened to me too. if it’s your first time eating kimchi then no usually it’s not fizzy like soda but it can get that way and it is normal. as long as the color is bright you’re good. i wouldn’t judge by crunchiness of the veggie because that just depends on how long it’s been fermenting.

Kimchi almost can not rot. It just gets funkier and funkier. Also sour.

Ok I’m new to kimchi and I had a container with a bloated lid and it freaked me out and I asked my friends who eat kimchi often if it was safe and they said if it tasted like soda fizzy it was bad so I tossed the whole thing. I never tried it bec I was scared of botulism or something. (Please don’t laugh it was my first time buying kimchi)

As long as its not slimy it should be fine
It’s too soupy for my taste
