1. When kimchi is exposed to air, Kahm yeast growth (seen as white spots) can occur.
2. When less salty kimchi is stored at a high temperature, Kahm yeast could grow on the kimchi.
What are the white spots? (Kahm yeast)
Kahm yeast is a kind of surface yeast that grow using oxygen.
As these yeast do not have toxic genes, they are safe for consumption.
They often appear on the surfaces of fermented food such as kimchi, soy sauce, soybean paste, etc.

Try this
Discard the parts with Kahm yeast growth. Press the kimchi down so it is submerged in its juice.
Cover the top with a plastic deli sheet to minimize contact with air.
Set the kimchi storage setting to [Kimchi] or long term [Storage].
※ If Kahm yeast grew while using the [Kimchi] setting, then change the setting.
