Pad Thai

The hardest part of this meal was creating a shelf-stable sauce because what is pad thai without a proper sauce?! With a little experimentation we were able to create a fantastic sauce for our mechanically-masticated rice noodles. The sauce is not complete without a few soy sauce sachets, be sure to grab some at your local sushi joint (As good as an Idea as sysco was, we now have an extra 460 soy sauce packets at home…)

1 serving:

110g of rice noodles

25g dehydrated tofu

10g chopped nuts

13g dehydrated veggies

2g dehydrated spinach

2 tsp peanut butter powder

1 tsp coconut milk powder

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp brown sugar

Sriracha coins

Soy sauce sachets

Mix all ingredients. When ready to eat, add hot water to desired consistency.

Thanksgiving Dinner

When is Canadian Thanksgiving? It’s in October, but who doesn't love a feast? Especially after a long day of hiking around in the alpine. That’s why we created our own thanksgiving meals to satisfy immense hunger after 30km+ days. Don’t worry not much was left out! There is cranberries, gravy, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, stuffing, and, the piece de resistance, turkey!

1 serving:

30g instant mashed potatoes

10g instant gravy

30g instant stuffing

15g of dehydrated cranberry sauce

24g of sweet potato bark

30g of dehydrated ground turkey

8g of dehydrated shaved brussel sprouts

Place instant potatoes in a seperate vessel. Rehydrate all other ingredients together. When there is roughly 2 minutes left in the rehydrating process, add the potatoes. Enjoy!

Skurka Beans and Rice

A wonderfully simple recipe taken from professional backpacker Andrew Skurka (Link here). It’s nearly as easy as it sounds! Rice, beans, and taco seasoning in a bag and when you’re ready to eat add some cheese and Fritos. Bam! Good to go.

42g dehydrated rice

56g dehydrated beans 

6g taco seasoning

Real cheese

Fritos

Mix rice, beans and taco seasoning. Add hot water when ready to eat, after meal is rehydrated add small slices of cheese and crushed up fritos for some pizaz.
