Big batch of kimchi paste!
Been lurking around this subreddit, but then i realised: hey, i make kimchi too!
I made this big batch of (seafood-free) kimchi paste because I wanted to stock up for future kimchi-making.

picture 2: (clockwise) my old kimchi paste + glutinous flour porridge underneath it, gochugaru, special blend of mushrooms and seaweed, blend of apples, peaches, onions, garlic, ginger.

If you're wondering about "seafood-free" kimchi, I entirely avoided using fishsauce and salted shrimp because I noticed lots of my friends are allergic to seafood. I figured out a workaround by making an umami blend of mushrooms, wakame, salt, msg, soy sauce and chicken stock (hence, why it's only seafood-free and not vegetarian)
