Move Over Instant Ramen!

Instant ramen has long held its spot in college dorms, on grocery shelves, and in kitchen cupboards everywhere. It's quick, affordable, and satisfies that ramen craving almost instantly (pun intended). It first hit the scene decades ago with one job: feed people quickly and cheaply. To do that, it had to cut corners on almost everything that makes ramen, well, ramen. 

Frozen ramen is the new kid on the block, here to shake up the status quo and introduce a new way to enjoy ramen without compromising on quality or flavour. Where instant ramen was built for convenience, frozen ramen was built for convenience AND quality. So now, you don't have to choose between instant ramen or a restaurant bowl, you can have both! 

Instant Ramen vs Frozen Ramen

Aside from the freezer aisle, this is where the real differences between instant ramen and frozen ramen take shape. 

Scratch-Made Noodles: Instant noodles are typically fried or dried which is part of what makes them convenient and shelf-stable. Our noodles are made from scratch using noodle machines imported from Japan. They are made fresh, then frozen and never fried or dried, helping keep that springy texture consistent all the way to your bowl.  

Real Bone Broth: Instant ramen relies on a seasoning packet for quick, easy flavour. Every bowl of frozen ramen starts with a layer of real bone broth, slow-simmered the way you would make it at home. It’s real broth, made by real people. No flavour packets needed. 

Real Protein and Veggie Toppings: Instant ramen packets often include bits of dehydrated toppings that rehydrate into something more textural than substantial. Ours is topped with real, naturally-sourced proteins and real vegetables, for a complete satisfying bowl of ramen every time.

Chef-made Recipes: Instant ramen is designed to be convenient, shelf-stable and simple. Our recipes are chef-made, from the minds of Michelin-trained Chef Jared, and inspired by the same restaurant bowls we serve. Each component is made fresh, then flash frozen to lock in quality and flavour until you’re ready to enjoy at home. 

Convenience, Compared: Instant is literally in the name… however frozen stacks up on convenience too. Shelf life? Up to a year in the freezer. Prep time? No boiling water, no waiting around, no assembly required. Just heat it up on the stove or in the microwave. By the time instant ramen's water boils, your frozen ramen is ready to go.

Your Frozen Ramen Era is Here 

Frozen ramen picks up where instant ramen leaves off: real bone broth, scratch-made noodles, chef-crafted recipes, real toppings, and convenience that holds its own. It delivers everything you love about a quick meal without sacrificing what makes ramen worth craving in the first place.

So next time you're shopping for an easy meal, take a stroll through the freezer aisle. There will always be room in the cupboard for instant ramen, but it's time to make some room in your freezer for restaurant-quality ramen…no restaurant trip required. 😉
