Lucky 8/8/08 Giveaway

July 30, 2008 By chow 33 Comments

Lucky 8/8/08 Giveaway

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:

Homestyle Vegan Cajun Chicken Fingers
1. Dried Soy Knots – Homestyle Vegan Cajun Chicken Fingers

Tofu Noodles With Peanut Sauce
2. Dried Wood Ear Mushrooms – Tofu Noodles With Peanut Sauce

Rice Noodle Soup
3. Dried Rice Noodles – Rice Noodle Soup

BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Sandwich
4. Canned Young Green Jackfruit in Brine – BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Sandwiches

Minty Summer Fruit Salad
5. Canned Lychees – Minty Summer Fruit Salad

Jackfruit Carnitas Tacos
6. Canned Young Green Jackfruit in Brine – Jackfruit Carnitas Tacos

Kung-Fu Vegetarian Flavor Ramen Review
7. Kung Fu Vegetarian Flavor Ramen Bowl – Kung Fu Vegetarian Flavor Ramen Review

Chinese Veggie Chicken Salad
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.

    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!

    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!

    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!
