- noSyncCloud 4y agoThey are pickled, not fermented (at least the kinds I can buy in the USA – perhaps there are other varieties?)
- petre 4y agoYes, you wash them with hot water and salt two or three times then leave them to ferment for a week or two in the last batch if salt water with horseraddish, parsley root and maybe a pepper if you like them a bit spicy (not kimchi spicy). This is the proper way to do it, as opposed to using vinegar.
