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!
Love watching your videos and learning to cook more Korean meals. Really has helped bring life to our homes dinners!
Hey I’ve always loved Korean food, because when I was younger I was friends with a lot of Korean people. Since then I’ve been trying to re-create the flavours I used to experience. I’d really appreciate the ingredient kit – thank so much!
Hi Maangchi! I love reading up on your journey.
The food looks amazing. And dying to see homemade gochujang! Who makes it at home anymore?! How awesome!!
Hi Maangchi! Thanks for sharing your cooking skills and recipes with us. Your recipes are amazing!!
love your site. i’m korean and love korean food but don’t know how to make anything! i’m learning on your site! thank you! :)
Wow, what a lovely blessing and opportunity, thanks to you and your fabulous Korean recipes! Yumm Yumm Yumm and double Yumm. I think everyone should try Korean cuisine at some point in their lives…its an explosive tantalizing party in your mouth, spicy, sweet, sour OMG amazing! Thanks CJ company for sponsoring the giveaway.
thanks Maangchi for the great Korean recipes, Love everything you make
This is such a great opportunity for those of us who love Korean food :) i watch your videos and am inspired to try to cook all the recipes :) Thank you for your videos!
That’s a great idea and it’s very nice of CJ to sponsor this kit :) Where I live it’s impossible to get some of the ingredients (fish sauce for example). I hope I’ll win. If not – then congratulations to the lucky winner :)
Ps. I’ve already posted my comment twice – but it didn’t show up :( I even scanned through all the comments to find it. Well, I hope that third time’s the charm and that this time, this one will get published :)
Thank you for sharing your talent with us! I really can’t wait to try out some of your recipes, they look delicious!
Maangchi! you’re awesome! the first video that i’d watch is your how to make kimchi video. it helps me. keep it up! Thank you!
thanks for teaching how to cook korean food! c:
your recipes are amazing
I would love the chance to win this startup kit! I love reading and watching your recipes, but so far I’ve only been able to try a few of them out because I’m missing a lot of the key ingredients. So thank you Maangchi and CJ for this opportunity^^
Thank you so much, this is such a great opportunity for many of us! I know that I’m not the only one who has been watching your videos for a long time, but never had the chance to try anything for ourselves. There’s not even a Korean restaurant anywhere around here, and there’s almost no online shops who ships korean groceries anywhere but the country the shop is from.
Best of luck to everyone!
I love you Maangchi:D I just adore your cooking skills and Its a pity you are not my mum:D
I just registered to this website, but I’ve been reading and using your recipes for quite some time. Thank you for all your amazing ideas and knowledge! Happy cooking!

Dear Maangchi,
Thank you for your series of Korean recipe videos. I fell in love with the cuisine when I was stationed over in the 2nd Infantry Division back some twenty years ago.
Watching your videos have helped me recreate some of the dishes that I never got recipes for back then.
I’d Love to win this kit since I love Korean food but have such a hard time finding all of the ingredients. This was a really smart idea! Thank you!
Hello Everyone! Another day and I’m craving Korean food! Hopefully I may be able to win the start up kit and I can make lots of yummy Korean food!
Good luck to all the participants!
Since i’m half Asian, I’ve always been interested in Asian culture and cuisine. I’ve tried lots of different Asian cuisines available here in my country. Unfortunately, there is no restaurant over here that offers Korean food or any store that supplies with the Korean cooking ingredients. Winning this kit and watching your videos will definitely help me to try Korean food.
I love to watch you cook. I am always convinced that it tastes good when you eat what you made.
I would love to win this! It would make making Kimchi taste sooooooooo much better ^__^ I love Korean food but can never find the right ingredients. This would be so wonderful ^__^ Maangchi fighting!
You’re videos are great, Maangchi! They’re informational, but fun! I love your personal annotations embedded in your videos. :D I’ve learned a lot from you for the past couple of years. Thank you so much~ :3
maangchi is wonderful! it’s the school holidays and i’m ready to start cooking her wonderful recipes!
Love to try new recipe with cj sauces! I love maangchi cooking show, you should go on actual tv, we need more Korean cuisine out there! Kimchi, kimchi,kimchi!! Fighting!

Dear Maangchi,
Thank you for the evening at Susanne van Heijst’s home in October this year.
Amazing what good Korean Food can do… ! Very proud of being there, and grateful for the opportunity that was given to me.
I hope that more people can enjoy Korean food the Maangchi way.
But being Korean does not automatically means that you are able to cook Korean…
I’ll take my changes and leave a reply.
Promised, if I win this starter set, I will invite for al meals that I will cook from these ingredients, people that do not (yet) have met the Korean kitchen…! Spread the good news ;-)
