My cousin tried my kimchi and asked if I was trying to 'pickle cabbage with ghosts' because of the bubbles.
He stared at the jar on my counter in Chicago for a full minute, then said 'It's breathing, man,' and refused to try it again for six months.

That "it's breathing" line is perfect. I read somewhere that the bubbles are a good sign, it means the good bacteria are doing their job. It's basically the kimchi version of a sourdough starter being alive. My first batch freaked me out too, I thought I'd messed it up bad.

Did my first batch bubble so much I thought it was trying to escape, lol.
