HAHA. Would be really good with some ramyun too... :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-bagged-cubed-kim-chi#post-1498197 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 10:46:15 +0000 spaniellove 1498197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew we had a container in our fridge that was passing the date so I pulled it out b/c I just had to know! So...</p> <p>This is what a 3/15 container looks like right now. I tried a piece and thought it would taste great with jjajangmyun! :grin: And man does the kitchen reek right now. So I doubt it would last much longer than the date.</p> <p>(For the record, our fridge is super super cold and almost freezes things.)</p> <p>[attach=2312/14/n2l7t4.600x449.2014-03-17-11.37.35.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-bagged-cubed-kim-chi#post-1498186 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 10:42:37 +0000 Rubies 1498186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: "...waiting for it to ee-guh so I can eat ittttttt" Your Konglish kills me bc this is exactly how I talk irl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-bagged-cubed-kim-chi#post-1498170 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 10:34:06 +0000 chopsuey 1498170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Okay, so my mom brought some radish kimchee when she came to visit 2/24. I tasted one that day and it wasn't ready and tasted too bitter. I just tried some a minute ago and it's perfect. I probably have to finish it in 2 days or it'll be too fermented and I'll have to cook with it. </p> <p>My guess is your cubed kimchee will have to be eaten within 2 weeks. </p> [attach=45/14/n2l78v.600x422.ponytailkimchi.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-bagged-cubed-kim-chi#post-1498159 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 10:30:21 +0000 gingerbebe 1498159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Leave it out on your counter for a day to ferment. It should taste fine after that.</p> <p>@locavore_mama: You can keep it in a plastic tub but yeah it will stain/smell afterwards. My mom actually will keep the kimchi in a plastic ziploc freezer bag, and then put the bag in a big tupperware, so its lined. She always says to transfer small portions into a smaller container as you need it (i.e. at each meal or two) instead of eating straight from the big container every time because you will make the kimchi ferment too fast? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-bagged-cubed-kim-chi#post-1498146 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 10:26:21 +0000 chopsuey 1498146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I can't eat fresh moo kimchees. too bitter!

Taste one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-bagged-cubed-kim-chi#post-1497963 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 09:03:02 +0000 snowjewelz 1497963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmm I want to eat some now! I agree w/ CHOPSUEY for the plastic bag idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-bagged-cubed-kim-chi#post-1497959 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 09:01:56 +0000 regberadaisy 1497959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: why is that? For fermenting purposes? I thought when I buy it at the store it's ready to eat? haha I'm confused now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-bagged-cubed-kim-chi#post-1497957 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 09:00:52 +0000 mrbee 1497957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just eat it faster! :) I like it best fresh anyway... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-bagged-cubed-kim-chi#post-1497949 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 08:57:06 +0000 chopsuey 1497949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: if you wanna eat right away, I would take some and put in small container and leave it out at room temp for a day. Then re-refrigerate and eat when it's ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-bagged-cubed-kim-chi#post-1497947 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 08:56:02 +0000 chopsuey 1497947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: you can just leave it in the plastic bag. Just double ziplock it to keep the smell in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-bagged-cubed-kim-chi#post-1497941 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 08:53:55 +0000 Rubies 1497941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: If you use plastic, it'll stain and smell forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-bagged-cubed-kim-chi#post-1497940 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 08:53:21 +0000 regberadaisy 1497940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: yup!

I have it in the fridge now in the bag. What's the best way to store it for long term? It'll take us a while to finish it so can I freeze half of it? </p> <p>What's a good recipe? Thanks!</p> <p>ETA: the sell by date is 4/8/14. Do I have to eat it all by then? </p>
