Crafty Ramen wants to remind people that ramen doesn't always have to be enjoyed as a hot dish and its summer ramen kits are available for a limited time. As Jared Ferrall, Crafty Ramen co-founder and executive chef, says "Most people think of ramen as a hot and hearty winter meal, but summer versions, like the ones we serve, are just as common in the Japanese tradition."
Hiyashi Chuka, also known as "chilled ramen," is like a noodle salad, since it's refreshing, served cold and brothless. The newest subscription offering from Crafty Ramen is packaged in pre-portioned amounts and there are protein options available to suit those who prefer meat or meatless options, as well as sweet soy or spicy miso dressings.
