Lucky 8/8/08 Giveaway
Comments(33) 
In chinese culture, 8 is the most luckiest number of all, making the upcoming date 8/8/08 a super-duper lucky day. To celebrate, I decided to have my first giveaway.
The prize pack will include 8 (of course) non-perishable Asian ingredients that I’ve used in recipes. Well, except for the ramen bowl, but everyone needs a break from cooking once in awhile. I’ve listed the item and the recipe in which I used said item or its fresh version:
1. Dried Soy Knots – Homestyle Vegan Cajun Chicken Fingers
2. Dried Wood Ear Mushrooms – Tofu Noodles With Peanut Sauce
3. Dried Rice Noodles – Rice Noodle Soup
4. Canned Young Green Jackfruit in Brine – BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Sandwiches
5. Canned Lychees – Minty Summer Fruit Salad
6. Canned Young Green Jackfruit in Brine – Jackfruit Carnitas Tacos
7. Kung Fu Vegetarian Flavor Ramen Bowl – Kung Fu Vegetarian Flavor Ramen Review
8. Pickled Leeks – Chinese Veggie Chicken Salad
Now that you’ve seen what I’ve made with everything, here’s your chance to try it out yourself.
To enter, complete the following:
1. Subscribe to chowvegan.com via RRS reader or email.
2. Leave a comment on this post that you’ve done so and tell me which of the above items you would most like to try.
The details:
Comment must be made by midnight PST on Wednesday, August 6th; please only comment once.
Because the canned goods are on the heavy side, shipping is only to addresses within the continental United States. That and who knows what the story is for customs and sending food out of the country.
One entry will be randomly selected from the comments received and the winner will be announced on 8/8/08, making it their super-duper lucky day.
Good luck everyone!

I would love to try the mushrooms… Don’t think I’ve ever eaten dried mushrooms before and for some reason they sound really appetizing right now.
RSS is a go!
I’ve love to try out those dried soy knots with the mushrooms and rice noodles in a bowl of miso soup. I bet they’d be great together!
Email subscription! I would love to try the dried soy knots. That’s a unique recipe that I can substitute for a healthier chicken fingers. Thanks for the awesome opportunity!
RSS is done! I love anything and everything pickled, so I’m tickled pink by pickled leeks!
This is a great site, I’m glad I found it! I’d love to try the jackfruit, I always see it and never know what to do with it.
i love wood ears! but i’m most curious about the soy knots!

Hi, I most want to try the soy knots. Never had those before. I have had jackfruit but it was long ago and I have forgotten what it tastes like.
I signed up to receive feeds on my google homepage.

I signed up for your feed by email. I would love to try the jack fruit. I have not yet been able to find it in the store. It looks convincing enough that my omnivore husband might even like it!!! The lychee looks interesting as well.
You are subscribed to in my googlereader under “Food and Cooking!” I’m glad to find a new blog (huzzah for foodgawker) which caters to my love of good vegan food.
Those dried soy knots look godly really… like… vegan pork rinds, maybe? I can picture myself sitting in front of my computer mindlessly munching my way through their deliciousness and adding them to bentos to keep me going. In fact, all of that looks bento-able. Gimme!
Feed added. Can never have too many.
I’ve never seen pickled leeks before, would love to try them!
oooooooh! i would love to win! the jackfruit looks amazing! reminds me of pure luck! i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to try #4. hoping i will get some luck and win!
Subscribed and hooked for good :)
I went through so many of your recipes and reviews, and because I’ve not really had these before, I would loveloveLOVE to try the Kung Fu ramen (or else the dried soy knots)!
I’ve suscribed. :) That Kung Fu Vegetarian Flavor Ramen Bowl looks very interesting.
I am subscribed and I would love to try the Dried Wood Ear Mushrooms. The jack fruit looks great as well.
Great photos and recipes.
Just subscribed! Have never tried jackfruit or pickled leeks. Love wood ear mushrooms in hot & sour soup. Thanks. Thanks for the info on the 8-8-8.
i have not tried any of these, so it would all be quite a treat!!!

-cheers!

i’d be interested in all those items but the pickled leeks look fab!
You’re on my reader. Without this site, I would have fallen into a rut.
I’m most interested in the jackfruit. I don’t know where I can locate it near me, and the sandwiches you made with them look amazing. I’d love to use them in a sloppy sally recipe. I’m tired of always making them with tempeh.
Thanks!
Subscribed by email. I’d love to try the pickled leeks, which is the only ingredient in your giveaway that I haven’t tried! Thanks!
I’d love to try to bean curd sticks!
I just subscribed by email and am looking forward to reading more. This is a giveaway I would LOVE to win. The first 2 recipes I’d try are the Rice Noodle Soup and Tofu Noodles with Peanut Sauce. Thanks so much for the 888 giveaway! What you give today will certainly come back to you. :)
