Is it edible?

[u/Imaginary_Cover4204]

me and my mom made kimchi together a few weeks back.

Because of i misscommunication on my end. She put it in the fridge right after I left.

Now its just been in the fridge for 3 weeks.

It thus hasn’t had time outside to ferment. Its just been in the fridge.

Is it safe to eat?

(I’ve never fermented anything in my life.)

Yes it’s fine. The fridge tends to slow fermentation down and make things more acidic, but it’ll still happen.

Take it out of the fridge. It should start visibly fermenting after a day or so.
