    • You can buy whole or pre-cut cabbage kimchi.
    You can use kimchi that you made and that has been fermenting in the fridge.
  • Place the container in a cool, dark area with no direct sunlight. If it is in a clear container, cover it with a cloth.
    • Do not place it near sunlight or warm areas like the window.
  • Leave it there for 3 days.
  • After three days, put it back in the fridge.
  • It will now have a sour flavor and can be used for cooking.
    • Make sure you keep the kimchi in the fridge after three days. Do not just leave it on your counter forever.
