5. Place a lid weighed down with
a stone, for example, to press the
vegetables down and submerge in
brine. Cover with a clean towel if you
need to keep out fruit flies.
6. Place the jar in a warm spot and
allow the kimchi to ferment for 5-7
days. Check in on it and remove any
mould if it forms on the surface.

satisfied. Store in the fridge.
