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!ello my name is Julia. I am Honduran born in New Orleans. I was once in a relationship with a Korean boy and he had a mother who cook wonderful Korean food and i fell in love with the flavors.. any who lol i am still trying to cook Korean since that time. Thank you for your wonderful website! It really inspires me to keep on trying!
Hi maangchi!!! I made the easy kimchi recipe this past weekend. It is on its second day and it is looking fantastic. I will probably let it ferment for a week before putting it in the refrigerator. Thank you for this wonderful website. It has been a great help.
Hi Maangchi!! I really, really love Korean food!! Thanks for the Korean recipes and terminology. It was very helpful when I was living in Korea in 2010-2011. Hope I win!! :)
Woo! I hope I get chosen. This is a great giveaway!
What a wonderful idea to do a product give away! I love it! I hope I win so I can use these to try out more recipes.
I have to win! haha ^^
Hey,
just by chance I recently found your website. I have always been interested in Asian cusine, though I mostly cook japanese recipes, because I used to travel there before. now, I want to expand my horizong a bit and try myself at Korean recipes as well. I haven’t accostumed to the taste of kimchi yet and the general spicyness of Korean food, so I hope I can adjust the recipes to my taste (my family isn’t too fond of too spicy food either).
I guess I will try making some of your recipes soon (except ddokbokki maybe, it sounds really really spicy haha). Thanks for doing the giveaway and wanting to provide people with such starter kits to begin their new ‘career’ as Korean recipe cookers!
greetings
Hi Maangchi~
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now so much that I tell my mom and friends about them often that when I mentiond this contest they told me to go for it. So thats what I’m doing though quite the close call with the deadline coming up soon heh.
Hi Maangchi!!!
Thanks for your korean recipes, I am learning to cook Korean so that I can make a Korean banquet for my parents’ 25th wedding anniversary!!
I know the winners are chosen at random, but I really hope I’m one of them! I go to college in a small town, we only have one Asian market, but it only has Chinese and Indian ingredients, no Korean :(
Thank you for doing this giveaway!
감사합니다!!!
Hi Maangchi! How are you enjoying being at home? Only a few more days until the contest is over. I really hope I win. I love Korean food. I just ate some yummy kimchi today that I buy from the Korean market. I would really like to be able to make my own at home though. Good luck to all the participants!!!
I want to win this so much! I moved really far north in Canada for work and there are no asian markets anywhere. Please pick me to win!
Pick me pick me pick me pick me
I love Korean food! We have some great Korean food here in Oakland, CA. Hope I win this cooking set so I can make a bunch of food at home for my friends! Thanks!
Hi Maangchi! I was looking for a recipe for soya beans and found your website! I have been here for 3 hours watching a lot of your videos as you are so fun to watch! The dishes look yummy and I like the different music you play! I love Korean food but have never made any. Now I am going to try your recipes! I will start with some side dishes! Keep it up and thank you!
My brother and I are newcomers to cooking korean food and your site is such a treasure trove! Would love to be able to gift this set to him!
Please chose me random generator program! (Pwahahaha!!!)
Hola, a la meva dona i a mi ens agrada molt el menjar korea. Thanks Maangchi.
I really love your recipes and watching how you make everything. Thanks for all the delicious things I’ve managed to make because of your recipes!
My kiddos are at the age where they will start to eat the food that I love. This kit would be a great and easy way to get them started! Love your website!
Hi Maangchi! Been a fan from the beginning. I enjoyed all the delicious recipes that I remembered from being in Korea. Thanks to you I can always enjoy my favorites when I want. Everything about your website is awesome. Just wish we can see you cooking on TV. Thanks again from one of your first fans.
Hi Maangchi! I have enjoyed reading your blog and looking at all the delicious foods that you’ve been making and eating. Thank you for all of your hard work!
Annyong haseyo Maangchi! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos from YouTube and would like to make real Korean food in my home. Unfortunately grocery stores in Finland have very little Asian products to sell and the only places that sell real Korean ingredients are in the capital city. I’ve tried making some of your recipes (like ddukbokkie) and although they tasted really good, I know they would improve a lot using proper ingredients!
Even if I don’t win a kit, I’m so glad you make these videos! Without you, I would never have made any other Korean food beside kimchi ramen. So thank you! 감사합니다 !
I’m in
Hi Maangchi! I love love love your videos. Thanks so much for sharing them with us, I’ve had so much fun watching & making some of those dishes!! Hope you travel to Boston next! :)
Thanks for sharing your recipes, love them .. the startup kit will be a great help to start cooking your recipes.
Hi Maangchi! I am new to your website and Korean cooking. I will be trying your recipe for Samgyetang and looking forward to enjoying it with my family today.
Hi Maangchi,
What can I say… I don’t cook very often, but when I see you cook I get hungry and go out to get some (korean) dinner! So it works in a way… ;) My initials are CJ, so how cool would that be to have my kitchen cupboard filled with koreanproducts with my own initials on it! :) I always dreamed to have my own productline… :) And after that maybe I start cooking… that would be also good, I think… what do you think?
Take care Chul Joo
Hi Maangchi
It would be an honer to win the start up kit from CJ. I just recently found your website trying to look for Korean food (Am Latin) And am just tired of the same old food that I eat, that my mom makes. So she told me that if I find the recipe and the ingredients she will make it, and I found your website that tells us how to make it. So then I find that your having a contest and I said to myself what are the odds? I would like for other family’s to try out different foods too because I know many family’s like mine who eat the same thing every day. I would like to share my experience with Korean food with all my friends and family. Your website is amazing!
Hello Maangchi. I found your website on youtube about 2years ago and started cooking Korean food since then. I’ve tried many recipes that you shared with us, like radish kimchi, cabbage kimchi, kimchi stew, bibimbap, japchae, ddukbokkie and some others. Kimchi stew is one of my favorite! Really happy to know about this competition and I even posted this on my facebook because some people that I know live in a small town, so they can’t find some of the ingredients easily and this startup kit would be great. Wish everyone good luck. :)
I’m happy I found your website because your recipes are easy to follow, and you always look happy in your videos, especially when you taste the food you cooked. :P Keep up the good work and thanks a lot for your hard work. :)
Hello, Maangchi! I have been fallowing your videos for years. I’m so glad to see someone teach Korean cooking. Thank you for putting the time and effort into making these videos for people like myself who enjoy Korean food but don’t know how to make it. I have learned so much from you! =]
Love your recipes! This package would be great!
Hello Maangchi ! i really love your videos ! watching your videos make me want to try cooking them ! but the problem is that i dont have the ingredients you always use. i just use what i have and it really looks different from your cooking. T.T So it is very meaningful to me if i win the prize since those items are not available here… Goodluck to me! Hwaitin’ ^^)
