Fun fact about kimchi
Q. If any whitish film forms on top of the Kimchi that is being refrigerated, is it still okay to eat it?
A. According to the research from the World Institute of Kimchi, the whitish film is not toxic, and the Kimchi can be eaten if the film is removed and then it is rinsed or cooked. Still, the film may quicken the softening of Kimchi, so you'd better skim it off immediately.
Q. Then, how should I refrigerate it?
A. 1) Before refrigerating Kimchi, press it down so that the juice will cover most of the Kimchi.
2) For better storage, you can cover the Kimchi with a few large cabbage leaves or plastic wrap to avoid direct contact with air.
3) When you put cabbage Kimchi in a container, arrange it so that the cut cross-section of it faces upward. This prevents the Kimchi seasonings from falling out and thus maintains its taste.
Q.If a lady next door gives me some of the cabbage Kimchi that she has made today, when am I supposed to put it in the refrigerator?
A. Kimchi that has been freshly made will be tastier and healthier if it is let mature for one or two days before being refrigerated. If it is refrigerated right away without the maturing process, lactobacilli are not sufficiently generated, thus diminishing its taste. This will also prevent proper destruction of food pathogens.
