Note

To store this napa-cabbage kimchi, put any leftovers in an airtight container and place it in the fridge. It will stay fresh for a few days, giving you time to enjoy it.

When you're ready to reheat, you can sauté it in a pan until it's warmed through or microwave it in a microwave-safe container. Both methods work perfectly!
