We’ve bought kimchi online a few times – we both like it a lot. Our local supermarkets don’t seem to stock it. We like to add a spoonful or two to fried rice and stir fries. We’re nearly at the end of another jar, so I thought I might try to make some. I found a great vegetarian kimchi recipe online and looked into different fermentation jars.
Each of the jars that I’ve short-listed has an automatic release valve. This ensures that the gas created doesn’t build up and – woe betide – cause the contents or jar itself to explode on opening.
I decided on the 2 x 1-litre Kilner jars. The volume of each jar is smaller than the other examples; there are only two of us in this house, it would take us ages to eat that much kimchi. Also, as there are two jars, I could put the kimchi in one and try my hand at making sauerkraut for the other!
