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!
I would love to win this ! I have been making the emergency KImchi from you site for a while and need some new inspiration.
Thank you for all your helpful videos and tips on making all of my childhood favorites, which now I’m making for my own child. :-)
What a perfect Christmas gift this would be! A Korean meal on Chrismas eve, mjmmmummy!
As a poor college student, I use your amazing recipes all the time, and it tastes better than when I spend money to eat out at fancy restaurants! Having this set of ingredients would be absolutely amazing!
I’d would love to win this basket. I wanted to try so many of your recipes, but here in Germany they don’t sell many of those ingredients so I’d be very happy. By the way, your dishes look very delicious *-*
Onnie, I would love this set…I have not cooked any yummy Hanshik lately because I ran out of ingredients so this would be perfect…I hope I win…yey!!!
Ahh! My birthday is Dec. 15! I’m turning 23. I hope this will be extra good luck! It would be amazing if I were to be chosen!
This would be an amazing gift set to help me start my up passion in Korean cooking. Thanks a lot of Maangchi.
Your recipes are great! Hope to win this basket :D
I want to say Thank you Maangchi and CJ Foods. I have been watching Korean dramas and have always wanted to try Korean Food especially Kimchi. Even if I don’t win I want to say thanks again and it’s a really great prize.
Wow I have been following up with her video and this prize can help me to prepare all the dishes in her video vs the few due to restriction of items I can’t find.
