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!

Hi Maangchi! You are definitely an inspiration to me! Since I’ve been watching your videos, my cooking has been greatly improving in both flavor and appearance :D I love trying new recipes especially from different cultures so I was very excited to have stumbled upon your site. It would be amazing to share what I’ve learned from you with my friends and family so when I saw this giveaway I thought it would be a great starting point.

Hello Maanghi !!
What a great contest, I really love your recipes and korean food !
Thanks for all, continue like that :)
I’m so happy that I found your site and now have the recipes to make the same Korean food my mom used to make. My kids are thrilled that I can make them the same food they used to eat at halmeoni’s house. My mother passed away several years ago, and the only thing I remembered how to make was bulgogi! Now I can make all of it.
I would love to win the contest and try them out.
Yeah! I hope I win, Thanks for all the great recipes and info!
Hi Maangchi! (^_^) First, I love your show .< (Too shy to try it.. so I'm stuck eating ramen and cereal all the time) If I win the kit, then I will be inspired to cook korean food and make new friends!

Hi Maangchi, I have learned so much from your website. After I discovered maangchi.com, I would not go to any other websites to find the Korean cooking recipes.
