Sichuan kimchi is divided into two types, bath kimchi and seasoning kimchi. As the name suggests, bath pickles are vegetables that can be taken out and eaten after being soaked in a jar for a few days. Like baths, generally hard-textured roots, stems, leaves and fruits can be used to make bath pickles.

Kimchi jars and the chopsticks used every time to pick up kimchi should not be stained with oil or meat, otherwise the kimchi water will "flower", that is, white mold will grow on the kimchi water. When you encounter "flowers", you should use clean utensils to remove the mold spots, add an appropriate amount of pickle salt and white wine, move the pickle jar to a cool and ventilated place, open the lid for 10 minutes every day, and it will improve after 2-3 days. If the kimchi is rotten and smelly, it has gone bad and cannot be eaten and must be thrown away.
