Easy Kimchi Soup Noodle (Guksu)

Hey Kimchi Lover, When you over ferment kimchi, or ferment it for a long time, your kimchi will have more lactic acid. It makes sourer as well as softer.
We've all been there - you open your fridge, spot that jar of kimchi, and wonder if it's still good. Well, before you toss it away, hold on! We've got some nifty tips to give your kimchi a second chance at deliciousness.

Why Does the Kimchi become so Sour?

Kimchi becomes sour due to a natural fermentation process. Fermentation is a metabolic process carried out by microorganisms like lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast. In the case of kimchi, the primary reason it turns sour is the proliferation of LAB.

It's important to note that the sourness of kimchi is a natural and intentional part of the fermentation process. Many people enjoy the tangy and complex flavors that develop during fermentation. Additionally, the fermentation also enhances the nutritional value of kimchi by increasing the bioavailability of certain nutrients and introducing probiotics, which are beneficial for gut health.
