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!
Thanks for posting so many delicious Korean food recipes. I learned quite a lot from this website.
HI MAANGCHI…ANNYEONG,

Love your website overall. I’m going to make yangbaechu kimchi and korean fried chicken soon. :-)
i love korean food and would like to learn how to make them myself. i chance about your video in youtube and came about this website of yours and just…. lovviiiinnnnggg it. we (my hubby & i) usually eat out 2x a week and most of it comes about eating out in a korean restaurant (either fine dining, fast food or buffet)…. and if i’m not satisfied… i usually end up in a korean grocery buying those ready to eat (hot/freshly made) food inside which they offer on the side…. it’s become a habit of mine as well to swing by a korean grocery after payday :)…. but it turns out that it’s costing me a lot more… now that i’ve found your site.. this was a blessing as i sooo love to cook… thanks for sharing.

Maangchi – Things I like about your website:
1. Your are so much fun !!
2. I am new to Korean food and your recipes are my first experience with so many delicious dishes.
3. I am now able to introduce friends to Korean food. I have even given Kimchi making lessons here on Vashon Island, using your recipes and people are starting to really appreciate the taste and healthful benefits of your cuisine.
I have a request. If you have a recipe for a spicy abalone soup, I would love to try it. I bought frozen abalone to make your porridge and would like one more recipe.
Thank you

I was only recently introduced to this site, and I’m loving it! Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes and also the possibility of getting this starter kit (which is wonderful for me since it’s hard to get korean ingredients where I live).
Thank you!
I have just recently became a fan of this site. I love it. So much information. I cook for a living but it is impossible to find quality Korean ingredients in the middle of Mississippi. Keep up the great work, thank you.
Annyunghaseyo, Maangchi!
We are about to try your Korean Fried Chicken. Wish us luck!
