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!

    It would be amazing to receive a starter kit since I haven’t try to cook any challenging dish yet because the lack of ingredients, but I have try some of the easy dishes and it taste amazing. I would love to cook more Korean foods because it taste amazing and I want my friend and family to know more about Korean cuisine. (Kimchi and Kimbap is two of my favorite Kfood>.<)

    It would be awesome if I could win that. But I’m sure I’m not the only one here who could use the Korean ingredients. LOL

    How timely is this post!

    I found your youtube channel while searching for kimchi recipes. Your emergency kimchi looks simple and I already have the cabbage, carrots, fish sauce and sugar. I am about to go shopping for the red pepper flakes, garlic and green onion tomorrow. Oh, and I plan on adding julienne red bell pepper to the mix.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win Maangchi!

    I’m a college student that loves korean culture ever since one of my friends introduced it to me in high school. When we can, a few of my friends get together and make things like patbingsu and mochi but we’ve been really wanting to try making other korean foods but we don’t have the ingredients to do so. We’re looked at all the stores around here but no much luck.This startup kit would be really helpful if I won.

    Thank you for the opportunity and good luck to everyone.

    Hello maangchi, i am die hard fan of your show.and I am really proud that you have taken the step of promoting korean cuisine through out the world.I have always seen and followed your youtube channel and the recipies sincerely.The fact that i like watching your shows is that you narrate the whole recipe In a friendly manner just like my mum or my elder sister would teach me and i like spicy food as you do :)
    I live in london but the area i live in there is no korean grocery stores where i can get hold of some of your ingredients which i really wish to corporate in my dishes.All i have an option is that if i donot get any of the ingredients i end up eating in a korean restaurent. but i am a person who really enjoy cooking and always prefer to cook my own home food.
    Looks like I am writting a whole big story. so i will end up here.You are an amazing person and should stay blessed always. take care. and merry christmas in advance.
    Loads of love ,
    RUBY
    <3
