Last year, I made some kimchi that tournes out a tad bit too spicy and sour. My partner refuses to eat it and I cry when I try. But there is nothing wrong with it otherwise. Om reluctant to throw it out since I have another full glass jar of it, but I'm not sure what recipes I can make with it which would calm the taste. The only thing I've made with it that really succeeded was kimchi pancakes. The flour seemed to mellow out the taste. Any other suggestions?
Best Answer
You can use sweetness to cut down on the sourness and spiciness. Use ingredients such as carrots, onions, tomatoes etc. along with kimchi to mellow it down. Or else you can blend a little portion of kimchi while making biryani(rice).

How do you keep kimchi from getting sour?
Soak your kimchi overnight in cold water (or at least six hours). Then drain the water. This is obviously less than ideal, because it will not just remove the sourness, but also other intricate flavors that we all love! If soaking doesn't work, add sugar to balance out the tartness if soaking doesn't work on its own.How do you reduce the spice in kimchi?
Would adding water to the brine help at all? Usually you can wait it out. Kimchi spice will mellow with time, but it can take a while, like a month or more. I've found that every kimchi disaster tends to be alleviated by time.Is kimchi supposed to be sour?
Kimchi is naturally sour and pungent. As long as you don't see mold or notice any foul odors, your kimchi should be safe to eat. That said, if you're ever in doubt, throw it out.The most popular ways to use Kimchi (5 Kimchi Recipes)
