SAPPORO MISO RAMEN
Canada is a major producer, exporter and importer of an immense variety of agricultural and food products ranging from processed foods with global value chains to local, farm-based value chains. In this section, we share 3 of our research insights and assess to what extent our recipe can be made from Canadian agricultural and food products.
The first ingredient is chicken. Chicken is one of the most popular ingredients around the world. The chicken that we used in this recipe came from Canada.
The second ingredient is leek. Canada produces leeks, but they are not part of an average daily diet. Most leeks are imported; ours were imported from the world’s largest leek producer, China.
Last, sesame oil is not a popular ingredient in Canada. We used sesame oil that was produced in China. Sesame oil is a popular ingredient in many Japanese recipes.
In summary, 6 of the 12 ingredients we needed are produced in Canada, while the other 6 can be purchased without much difficulty. None of the ingredients were not available, and required us to make substitutions.
