It looks more saucy than kimchi I got in Japan, which is the only time I've ever had it, so I assume it was correctly made.

Maybe, although I think so long as everything is submerged during fermenting you've used enough. Its not as saucy as it looks in the container, its just really squished.

The stuff in the bowl is more saucy because i had extra porridge basically. I was gonna buy some more cabbage today for it.

I've made it a few times, but never with shrimp paste before.

My main tips are:
  1. Wash the salt off the cabbage after brining! So many recipes dont mention this and i ruined a batch once because it was disgustingly salty and didnt really ferment properly.
  2. Don't put it straight in the fridge. give it a day or two to get going at room temp
  3. Don't, absolutely do NOT seal the lid tightly. Close it, but allow some mechanism where air can escape. It will literally explode otherwise.

Did giant batches of kimchi quite a few times. I usually use the smell to decide how long it needs to ferment.

Gochujang coleslaw is also worth looking into. It's not as pungent and more crispy, works good as a summer alternative.

I've seen this guys channel a lot. I don't know what it is but something is off about him for me. His advice is solid and he does good things, but...I hate him? My problem really.

I went to maangchi this time. Korean gam gam bae:
