Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well and having a good day..I come with a concern and a question…my kimchi started to taste really sour and it’s new. what do I do to get rid of the sour taste? I’ve tried eating the kimchi as a side with my bibim naengmyeon but can’t enjoy the taste..this is not my first time tasting kimchi, it’s just that this batch I bought is surprisingly really sour and don’t know what to do to save it. Please help🥺

Tbh if it’s super sour, I’d just cook with it. Make a nice kimchi jiggae
Cant go backwards from sour. Only forwards.
You can fry it to mellow out the sourness some
You can’t make it less sour. Kimchee gets more sour as it ages.
On a brighter note, sour kimchee is the best kind of kimchee to stir fry or make into a soup. Make some kimchee chigae or kimchee fried rice.
That’s the thing with kimchi – every family, every region, every brand has their own recipe/taste. Some taste more sour, others more spicy, others more fishy, others a little sweeter, the list goes on. If it’s too sour for your taste, do a kimchi-chigae as already been suggested. Or kimchi jeon.
