The Great Canadian Experiment: Ultimate Ramen Poutine

The Idea: A True North Poutine

There’s nothing more Canadian than poutine—golden fries, squeaky cheese curds, and rich, savory gravy. But what happens when you try to get creative in the kitchen with all-Canadian-made ingredients and a little too much enthusiasm? The result? Well…it might not be Crafty Ramen's next feature bowl, but it sure was fun!

We set out to make a 100% Canadian-inspired poutine using only locally made products, but instead of fries, we decided to put our own twist on this classic—using Crafty Ramen noodles! Supporting local businesses has never been more important, and what better way to do it than through food?

The Execution: Well, We Tried...

Let’s be honest—it wasn't the best poutine we've ever had. The noodles didn’t soak up the gravy quite like we imagined and the cheese curds, let’s just say they didn’t melt into that perfect gooey goodness we were hoping for. But despite the hiccups, we had a blast testing, tasting, and think we might be onto something, just need to keep experimenting!

The Takeaway: Just Have Fun!

While this may not be the recipe you’ll pass down to future generations, we hope it inspires you to get creative in the kitchen and, most importantly, support local Canadian ingredients along the way! Cooking is about experimenting, learning, and, enjoying the process. Whether you’re making the best poutine of your life or an unforgettable kitchen mishap, the key is to have fun while you’re at it.
