Beyond the Bowl: Crafty Ramen Launches BBQ-Inspired At-Home Summer Menu

By CNW Group Ltd.   

New Crafty-Yaki DIY dishes are made for simple, convenient fun in the sun

GUELPH, ON, July 12, 2022 /CNW/ — Crafty Ramen is taking their at-home meal options from the bowl to the BBQ this summer season — and they’ve got something for everyone on the grill. The creator of a first-of-its-kind Ramen Subscription that offers innovative do-it-yourself (DIY) ramen kits, recently launched new grill inspired Crafty-Yaki dishes, available in addition to their brothless summer ramen kits, now delivering across Ontario until the end of the season.

Expanding on the Crafty at-home cooking experience, the new DIY seasonal line-up makes summer gatherings easier than ever. Ready to eat in 15 minutes or less, customers can choose from a variety of Asian-inspired meat and vegan items including four types of skewers, savoury pork or tofu BBQ pockets wrapped in aburaage (deep fried tofu pouches), and brothless ramen bowls (think cold noodle salad). Also new this summer are Japanese-inspired, locally sourced sausages made exclusively for Crafty Ramen by local chef-owned business, Trotters Butcher Shop. Each new menu item can be included in a Crafty Subscription box, or swapped for any item in an existing subscription.
