Pear Kimchi - Easy Recipe

  • Ideally, use slightly unripe pears if you want them to retain shape and not turn mushy after a few days of fermenting

  • You can use any pears you have available as long as they are not overripe

  • I used one 500 ml jar and one 800 ml jar, but you can use whatever glass or plastic container you have available

  • Because I make small batches, the longest I've kept this kimchi in the fridge is around 2-3 weeks
