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!
Yay! I’m so glad you’re doing something you’ve always dreamed of doing. I learned how to make kim chi from watching you, and everything I’ve made from watching your videos has been a success. My teenaged daughter is now a bona fide ddukbokki fan and it’s thanks to your recipe! Thanks for sharing all your videos and making Korean cooking a part of our lives that we now can’t do without!!
This a great motivator for people like me who are started to learn and practice Korean cooking. I follow your recipes and while it’s still not as perfect looking as your pictures I hope to improve! =)
Hi Maangchi!
Love your website and love to see your pictures.
Oh maangchi, you just totally made my day!
Here, in Portugal, is so difficult to find those ingredients! I haven’t found the Korean store mentioned in your site, but I will soon. Everytime I try some korean recipe, it’s already difficult because I’m vegetarian, so it’s even more difficult when it turns out that half of the ingredients I absolutely don’t have :( I don’t really have much luck on my side though, but well, I won’t lose anything to try, right?
Anyway, I must say congratulations for your cooking show, I’m a big fan of it! Actually, I’m so so so excited and anxious to see the result of Maangchi Gapshida that I’m silently praying for you to come back soon, hehe.
Thank you very much maangchi, without you there was no way I could eat some really good Korean food :D
Hello Maangchi! I love to watch you cook!! I wish I could cook some of the dishes you made. I’m not the best at cooking but since i love korean food I want to learn how to make it!!
Have fun on your tour!!!
My beautiful fiancée and I love to make Korean food all the time! Just today, we made soybean sprouts banchan and mak kimchi. This would be such a wonderful gift for the holidays for her — what a great surprise, right? She would love the “start-up” kit, even though she is hardly just starting up her Korean cooking adventures!
Your videos are awesome! Love the concept of a cooking kit. Keep up the great work!
Hope I can FINALLY make kimchi with this T^T
:D this is a wonderful contest! i’ve been cooking korean food for a while now and maangchi’s website really connected me to my korean culture. ^_^
love your video.my family cook but barely cook any korean food.thank you putting up the video to bring korean food back to our family
Maanchi!
I love your videos, even though I have only made one thing from the videos, I love learning it. Best of luck and love with the tour, Thank you, Yajaira
Just found your video last week and can’t stop watching! would love to win this basket as I can’t find the hot pepper paste and would love to try some more recipes. As I speak my kim chi is fermenting…lol

I’ve never won anything; so I hope this will be the first ^^
My son-in-law is stationed in Korea. When he was home on leave, he told me about all the various foods he was enjoying. My daughter just returned from visiting him in Korea and asked me to make a certain food, hoddeok, so it is apparent I need to get busy and learn to cook Korean. It would be a real treat to get a starter kit or I will be spending a lot of money buying all manner of things I do not know how to use. I am hoping to be reasonably proficient by the time my son-in-law returns in May.
I always watch your videos on youtube and your website but the ingredients are hard to come by in my home country. I love the spicy side of Korean cooking and, now I am home for good, I hope to try to cook some for my family who never tried any. I ate Korean whenever I could when I was studying in Australia!
Heyyy ^_^
I really like your youtube channel…:P…even though I’m 16 I’m really interested in korean food, culture and language…:)…so thank you for introducing me the typical korean food…:)
Hi Maangchi!!
I happy to see how you enjoy your trip:) And I’m also very very exited for this opportunity, it will be an awesome kit that will help me to try more Korean dishes out! I’m moving out in a while, so this will be a great gift for meXD Anyways, even If I won’t win anything, I hope that you would never stop making videos! I would also like to thank you for your happy smiles and delicious recipes. Take care.
Loves,
Merve
Thanks for showing me how to make jajangmyeon. I’m going to make it for my mother in law,wish me luck.
Thanks for entering me in this contest!
I love trying different cuisines & the Korean cuisine is the best by far. Love the videos!
안녕하세요!
New Korean food lover here! (i discovered your channel really late I must say ㅠㅠ)
Well I came in contact with the Korean culture some years ago through kpop haha and soon after I tried the Korean cuisine. Now I am hooked!!
I tried to make only japchae a month ago (and i think i kinda failed :/) cause here in Greece is difficult to find Korean ingredients ㅠㅠ And that’s the reason I want to win *^^*
I’m looking forward to more awesome recipes from you!
정말 감사합니다~!
Hi Maangchi,
I love your videos and tell all my family and friends to watch them. I have made a few of your recipes and totally love it. I made the beef bulgogi, spicy pork stir fry and your tuna pancakes. Everything was so delicious. I hope to make lots more korean food in the future. Especially, if I win the gift basket ; ) Thanks Maangchi and Happy Cooking.

Hi,
I have always wanted to make some korean food because they looked so delicious but I have never had the chance to go to a korean shop to buy the ingredients. Therefore, I’m really forward to that day and see the 20 winners.
Hope to win ; )
Maangchi,
Thank you for sharing your recipes with us! Since I started cooking along with your videos my family has been eating a lot better. It is so great to see my children happily gobble up such healthy food from different cultures that they wouldn’t otherwise have a chance to eat. I want to try all of your recipes. Everything looks so great!
Maangchi, you’re super awesome! ^^ Not only I am grateful to you, because of your videos, but also my boyfriend and my sisters, since they get to eat the food I make using your recipes. Thank you!!!! 고마워요!!!!
Hi Maangchi!
I love Korean food, but I’ve never made any before. If I win I’ll follow all your videos to a T!

I would love to try something new so this package would be used trying to redo some of your recipes like kimchi always wanted to try some but i live in small town not many if any korean restarants here
After watching your videos I have become better in cooking. I love Korean food and was happy that I could finally make it perfectly following your recipes. I was looking everywhere to find a great tutorial for it and I’m glad I came across your videos.
maangchi,
I love your videos! You make everything look so yummy and easy to make!
Thank you for making your vidoes!! and I hope I win!! lol

I’ve just started trying to cook Korean food, and have found this website to be extremely helpful. I hope I win this contest as ingredients are impossible to find here in the middle of nowhere. Might have to make my own doenjang from scratch, yikes! Thanks for all your excellent work!
Hi maangchi! I love watching your cooking videos and have made soon du bu and kimchi stew. I would love to win some Korean groceries! Thanks!!
A year ago when I started watching Korean Dramas. I noticed all the good food that were presented and I would wonder to myself, how can I make them. I stumbled upon your website and absolutely love it. I have made many of your recipes and as always a big hit. I always check back every week to see what new recipes you have. Looking forward to many more wonderful recipes.
I’m crossing my fingers so hard >< Thank you for making this contest !! <3
