What should I do if white spots appear in the kimchi jar?

Kimchi is a very popular food among people. It is a kind of pickled food, mainly made from various vegetables. It tastes sour and salty, and is very suitable for eating with rice, drinking wine, etc. The key tool for making pickles is the jar, which must be airtight. Many people have encountered the phenomenon of white spots appearing in the kimchi jar after a period of time after pickling. What should they do? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

When pickling vegetables at home, a layer of white film, which is mold, easily forms on the surface. This is mainly because the container is not airtight enough, allowing air to enter the kimchi jar and cause mold to grow inside. If not removed in time, the pickles will rot and deteriorate.

When this happens, you should first pay attention to sealing. Then you can move the vegetable jar to a place with lower temperature, and sprinkle some white wine in the jar, or add some washed and chopped onions and ginger, and then seal the jar for 3 to 5 days, and the white film will disappear.

There are several ways to solve the problem of white flowers in the kimchi jar:

1. Put 100 grams of sorghum liquor in the jar.

2. Cut a piece of bamboo shoots and put it into the kimchi jar.

3. Place two or three perilla leaves in the jar. After a few days, the white spots will disappear automatically.

Clean the altar cover frequently and replace the water in the altar cover, and clean the edge of the altar that contains the water to prevent it and the altar cover from being greasy, and keep the water in the altar cover fresh. If you have done the above and the kimchi jar still smells and has crusts, it means that your hands are not suitable for making kimchi. Either you don’t make kimchi and just buy it in the market; or you can carefully tend to the kimchi jar every day and don’t be bothered by it. Wash the altar cover and change the water in the altar cover every day, and clean the edge of the altar where the altar cover is closed! If you occasionally find white spots growing in the salt water, immediately pour white wine into it to disinfect it. After a day or two, the salt water will naturally have no white spots and the kimchi will not deteriorate and become smelly. But don't pour too much liquor each time like you did the first time. Just pour half a bottle or less than half a bottle of liquor into the jar depending on the amount of white wine in the jar.
