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!




The package looks awesome! Hope you are enjoying yourself in the Philippines :)
I’m looking forward to winning this contest. ;-)
Just kidding…

Hi Maangchi!
I am in love with korean food and the whole culture! I’ve always wanted to make your korean food and this contest is great! Good luck to everyone~
Hello maangchi! I would really like to win the cooking kit because it’s impossible to get korean ingredients in my country.
Love your show and keep up the good work. :)
how exciting!! i love cooking korean food but it’s so hard to get ingredients not living in a big city with korean grocery stores. I really hope I’m able to be one of those lucky people! ^_^
There is nothing more comforting than seaweed soup, thanks for sharing the recipes!
Hi there maangchi! My passion and love for Koren food started when I found your site and videos. Of course my sister is also a Korean drama lover! Everyone has been impressed with the Koren foods and recipes that I have learned from you and taught to them. It has made eating at korean restaurants very easy now as I actually know what I am ordering! Yay! Thanks maangchi. So excited about CJ Foods contest! Thank you!
Hi Maangchi! Thank you for sharing your recipes with us…I really enjoy your videos :)
I’m looking forward to this contest because it’s kind of hard to get Korean ingredients where I love…keeping my fingers crossed!
I became a Korean food addict ever since my freshman year in college, roughtly 6 years ago. I remember my friends and I was always snooping around for cheap food. We found a jewel called Ko-mart in a city close by and that was the first time I tried Korean food. It was only 5 dollars per meal! I fell in love with yukgaejang but had no idea how to go about making it so I relied on the internet to find the recipe, and that’s how I found you, Maangchi. You made the recipe seem so simple. I tried making it and it was a success. I’ve been your reader/viewer ever since!
Maangchi, I have posted a reply yesterday, but why doesn’t it show up ? I really want to join this contest, because the prize is DAEBAK !! Thanks CJ Foods ! You guys (Maangchi and CJ Foods) are awesome as usual..!!
Hello maangchi! I grew up in a diverse house hold and live in a not so diverse place. But when I introduce people to foods, like Korean food, I reference you quite a bit and my guest and myself become more cultured thanks to you.
Thank you!

안녕하세요 Maangchi! Really loved your videos and everything Korean related. I am taking korean lessons and just came back from Seoul this summer. Loved the food but unfortunately not so good at cooking it! My little girl loved Kimbap but when I made them, they don’t taste the same maybe it’s the ingredients??? Really wish to win this kit.
정말 감사합니다. 당신은 최고야.
hey maangchi. thanks for all of your videos and recipes. i have really enjoyed cooking all of the delicious and healthy meals. it would be great to win this basket because i would like to try a korean food xmas party.
