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!

Hello Maangchi! :) I first came across your videos when I was trying to find some recipes for ddukbukki and bibimbab, I tried them at a Korean restaurant and me and my mom loved it! Since then, I began learning and cooking Korean recipes from your wonderful website! I especially loved your recipe for jabchae. I love how you explain the recipes step by step, and also with pictures! That makes it much more easier for sometimes confused and blur readers like me hahahah! Thank you Maangchi! Saranghabnida!

HI Maangchi, I love watching you cook. You make is so easy to do your receipes. thank you so much for sharing all these Korean recipes.
I am incredibly happy to have come across your site and delicious recipes. You have all the recipes for foods I remember from my childhood, plus a number of dishes I have yet to try. Thanks to your easy to follow recipes and extremely helpful videos, I have been able to try cooking them on my own and sharing them with friends, some of whom have never had Korean food before. Thank you for your enthusiastic & enjoyable videos and amazing variety of recipes.
Hello Maangchi! I found your site when I searched online for Kimchi recipes. I first tasted Kimchi in the military about 10 years ago and I loved it. Then I tried your Kimchi and Kaktugi recipe and my family and I devoured it within days – it was soooo good. I can’t wait to try your other recipes like Bibimbap and Japchae. You are a true ambassador for the deliciousness that is Korean food! I would love to get started on your other recipes and the CJ Foods startup kit would be just what I need.
Thanks for the recipes! My halmoni would be proud.
Hi Maangchi!!!
I’ve been an avid watcher of all your videos since the beginning!

I am new in Korean Cooking, and I was so greatful when I found you! I love how you make videos and show pictures of everything that you make. It is very helpful! Thanks for all of your hardwork, that was put into making all of your videos!
Maangchi- As a student I am always trying to find new ways to learn in and out of the classroom, so when I found your website 8 months ago, I knew I was in for a fun and delicious challenge! Thank you so much for sharing all your skills in preparing all of these great Korean and Korean-inspired dishes!! When I cook your recipes, I always share the results with friends and they simply adore them!! You are so much fun to watch and learn from ;-D
Thank you so much for having this contest and CJ Foods for sending you those products! We don’t have many ingredients used in Korean cooking in my country, so I’d love to win this!
Once again, thank you and best of luck! :)
Hi Maangchi, I love your YouTube videos and your recipes. I always wanted to try Korean food it looks delicious and health. I try the other day’s Zucchini BuChim then were delicious. I want to make kimchi and hot and spicy cakes but where I live I can’t find the ingredients. But over all I love your web channel and your cooking.
I’ve always loved Korean food since I was a kid. Back then, at sleep overs, my friend’s mom would have all these delicious Korean foods! That is how I fell in love w Korean food!
Hi Maangchi! I can’t believe there are only 6 more days left until the contest is closed and the winners are announced. I am starting to feel very anxious like I used to feel as a child when i knew Christmas was fast approaching. I feel like a child again waiting for Santa to come to my house and bring me presents. Will you be my santa this year Maangchi and bring me lots of Korean ingredients so that I can make lots of yummy food for my family? Please say you will!!! Hope I win. Good luck to all the participants.
Hi Maangchi. I always ate unhealthy until I discovered your website and decided to start eating healthy for a better life. Thank you so much for sharing all these healthy but delicious recipes with us!!
Hi Maangchi, thank you so much for sharing all these Korean recipes with the rest of the world :D
I enjoy reading about your cooking and your travels. My daughter in law is Korean so she also delights us with tasty Korean food. I have trouble finding the ingrediants but would love to try some recipes!! Keep posting!!
Hi! Today I going to say: I love you Maangchi!
Maangchi ,, You have a very unique way of getting through to people hearts the very first time I saw you where when I was looking for a Kimchi recipe {Making kimchi video} I tried doing it before but the sweet rice flour porridge I learned for the Kimchi paste from you it was a simple step but really Delicious “Thank you” for that cause many recipes didn’t mention it . and I trusted your recipes ever since. I have Tried alot of them latter on but I know It’s missing the original taste for example Instead of Chili paste I had to replace it with sweet Paprika so until now I’m not sure if I had the real taste of the original Korean food that is why I’m exited for your Contest because I’m from Egypt and there is no Korean store around here ,,Sarangheyo Love all the way from Egypt XOXO
Hi Maangchi…. I once tried Korean Food in an Asian Market food court.. Once i tried it, i immediately loved it!! Then i said to myself that i had to start doing it myself.. I started browsing thru Youtube for Korean Food especially Yukgaejang… It brought me to your channel… I started watching your videos almost everynight.. And im happy to say that i have learned a lot and have cooked a lot of your dishes.. Proudly to say that i have cooked it at parties and have received nice praises… I have tried your LA Galbi, Bulgogi, Jap Chae, Kimchi JJigae, Soondobu, and off course… Yukgaejang.. I dont have my own place.. I wanted to try doing Kimchi but dont have much refrigerator space… Thank you so much Maangchi for introducing me to Korean food…
