What is pa kimchi?
Whole scallions coated in seasoning, laid flat, then folded into loose bundles so they fit the jar without breaking.
How long should pa kimchi ferment?
Raw scallion is aggressive and the first week tastes like it. Give it a month and the harshness turns round and glossy — this is a kimchi that genuinely rewards patience.
