For a spicier kick, add more chili powder to taste. Adjust the sugar and vinegar to your preference for a sweeter or tangier kimchi. Make sure the jar is clean and airtight to prevent spoilage. Using a food-safe plastic bag inside the jar, filled with water, helps weigh down the kimchi and keep it submerged during fermentation.
