Making kimchi at home is super easy. For my version, I used ingredients found in my everyday pantry, and a method to speed up the fermentation time. This recipe is just like store bought, if not better! I started making my own after being disappointed with sugar-free kimchi from whole food stores. It always lacked flavour and was never spicy enough for me.

Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
Notes
If skipping probiotic capsules and Instant Pot method, fermentation time might need to be longer depending on room temperature. Kimchi will continue to ferment in the fridge. // Traditionally, cooked glutinous rice flour and sugar is used to help with the fermentation process. The stickiness of the glutinous rice flour also helps to adhere the paste to the leaves. In my recipe, I used sodium alginate because it does not leave a slimy texture. Gum arabic, guar gum, xanthan gum can also be used, but the texture might be noticeable. // Sodium alginate is my go-to ingredient to replace cornstarch and rice flour. I have used it to make keto gravy and have only received positive reviews. // This recipe can be easily doubled and can fit a 6 quart Instant Pot to the max line.
