Hello everybody!
Recently CJ Foods contacted me and offered to send me some Korean ingredients as a way of saying “thank you” for spreading Korean culture and cuisine. It was very kind of them to offer, but after talking to them some more, we decided it would be more fun to set up this giveaway for my readers. This is CJ’s way of encouraging you to cook Korean food, because they know that not everyone can find Korean ingredients easily.
So, leave a comment on this post, and you’ll be entered to win a Korean cooking startup kit from CJ.
Please leave only one comment below, and then there will be 20 winners chosen at random by random.org. This contest is open to anyone in the world. Wherever you live, if you win then CJ will deliver this startup kit to your house.
The contest will close at midnight (New York time), December 15th and I’ll contact the winners through email. The winners need to answer me in 5 days, and if anyone doesn’t answer in time I’ll have to pick the next winner. So please, when you register for my website to leave a comment, make sure you use a current email! And be sure to check your email around that time!
The other cool thing about this startup kit is that a lot of the products in it are from CJ’s new Bibigo brand, which you’ll soon be able to buy outside of Korean grocery stores in the USA. I asked CJ about this, and they said Bibigo is just a new brand name for their Haechandle brand, which I have been using for decades and you may have seen in my ingredients section.
So, good luck to you! I hope you win!
Update Dec 23, 2011 – The contest is now closed, and the winners have been announced. Thank you for entering!

Hello Maangchi I am your fan from the island of Puerto Rico and I would so love to win this start up kit. They are no Korean markets in Puerto Rico and I want to make Korean food and introduce my family to it so we can have the experience on trying something new….plus all of your recipes look delicious and I want to make them all.
sincerely Keily =)
Hi!!! am from Puerto Rico to, wish part of the island are your from, is good to know that am not the only one from my country fighting for this kit, so good luck XD
I want that so bad! I love your cooking video!!
I live far away from my lovely country so it’s very hard to find it. I miss the food, everything there. Around here i can hardly find any asian market. I reallly want to eat it again after a long time . :((((((
Hi Maangchi, I love you cooking videos! Although I don’t have any store to buy Korean food in, because I live in Croatia, I watch your videos all the time! Your personality is so interesting, fun and cute! Thank you for all you have done for us! Kamsahamnida!
Hi Maanghi, lost my old acc. made a new one. cos i really want to give this contest a go!
I love the way you make korean cooking for everyone!
I hope I’m able to win. It’s hard to get to the Asian mart and usually I don’t have enough money. This basket will allow me to focus on getting the other ingredients for dishes I want to try.
I would love to win! The ingredients look so good! I want to cook more Korean food and this will definitely help.
Wow, that is awesome Maangchi that you are travelling around the world. Will you be visiting Singapore? I am your fan here :)
Hope to meet you in person to learn more korean cooking from you. I have tried many of your recipes and there are great, especially Soondubu Jjigae. Whenever I post the photos of the food I cooked, my friends will ask me where I get the recipes from and I will tell them about your site :)
And of course this awesome kit is wonderful, because I use those ingredients and they are not cheap hehe.
Thanks in advance if you pick me :D
Nomm I love Korean food <3
It would be awesome to win this because I live in a small city and its hard getting Asian ingredients for food =(
I would love to win this kit. I know a few Korean dishes, but I want to make more!
I was introduced to Korean food when my co-worker would bring dishes to share at lunch time. I would ask many questions. I’m glad I found your channel to learn more about cooking. I would love to win the start-up kit so I can start making Korean food myself.
Hello Maangchi!! Thank you and CJ for making such an awesome contest, I’m sure it’ll make many people very happy! Have fun with the remainder of your world cooking show!! =)
Finally, a chance to win the ingredients to make Korean food. I can never find everything I need where I live.
hope i win. I can’t find some of that stuff around where i live would be really nice to cook with some of that stuff.
Great prize! Good luck everyone!
This would be so great if I won, just started making Korean food at home and it would great to have all the essentials.
I hope i get picked!
hey maangchi,
this is my first comment on your website but i have been a fan of yours for a couple of years now. I am half-korean and love korean food but can only cook a few dishes (always following recipes from your site!). I really want to experiment more – and this kit would be perfect! Please enter me in to the draw :)
Thanks.
This is awesome! I hope I get picked me as I love cooking Korean foods but ingredients can be quite pricey for a student like me!
I would really love to win this giveaway. I have no way of getting any of the ingredients being given away and I really LOVE korean food. I just want to make it and I cant. :C
So I really hope that I win.
Thanks for all of your amazing recipes!!
Keep it up!
Hello Maangche! Love the channel! Please add me to the contest :)
i would love one. There is only one shop in my town which sells Asian food.. and i never find all the stuff i need :/
hope I win but good luck to everyone! because everyone deserves it :)
maangchi, I always watch your videos but never can find these ingreadiants in my small town! Hope the random generator thingy picks me! :)
I’m new to your blog and youtube channel, but I’m already in love!!!! <3 I hope I win – it would be 대박!!!!!
Hi Maangchi!! Congratulations for living out your dream come true! I can tell you are having a super, fantastic time in your travels meeting people and experiencing their culture all while cooking delicious Korean food. I used to live in Korea during my youth, but never learned how to prepare the food, so I enjoy watching your videos. They remind me of my youth and I would really, really, really like to win one of those baskets so that I, too, can cook Korean food in the comfort of my own home.
Best wishes & keep sharing those wonderful videos!

This is awesome, I would love some Korean food for the holidays! Thanks Maangchi and CJ!<3
I need all of them:)I hope I will win love maangchi thanks
Hi Maangchi! My 3 year old and I have been enjoying watching your exciting travels!!! Can’t wait to see all your videos of your trip!!! Thank you!!!!
Dear Maangchi, I would really really love to win, I LOVE Korean food and now I am staying in the midlands of UK there is really nowhere to buy ingredients. I have tried so many of your recipes and made a meal for my mother in my hometown in Asia but I am so sad I can’t make it here for my friends. My favourite is Chap Jae and all the cold starters for the meal! Hope to win this competition and be able to make more of your recipes!! Keep up the good effort! I think what you’re doing is great! Love, Littlewazz xxx
