Lovely jobly! I used to do the same and pack my containers. Now i fill them about 2/3 to avoid any leakage and loss of product. You might need a 3rd container though

Yea it’s true! Usually I keep a bit of space but now my fridge is so stuffed that I really pushed it to the limit 😂 I’ll use this flowing juice for my fried rice and then pop everything in the fridge

kimchi should be at room temperature for 12-24 hours and then go into the fridge for slow fermentation.

I read it was variable on room temperature. If it's hot, it only needs a day or two but during winter it's mostly a week

It is generally 12-24 hours in warmer weather and 24-36 hours in colder months. Kimchi is meant to ferment slowly in the fridge. It should not be at room temperature for extended periods.

I agree, but they cost like 50 euros for a container :( maybe I’ll buy them in Korea when I visit next time
