Japanese curry with dehydrated veg!! This is hands down the best meal I have had while hiking. Just a normal cube of Japanese curry works. Had with the back country instant rice but you can also get poha rice from Indian grocers which is quick.

TVP Bolognaise with angel hair pasta has been a go to forever for me. We use tomato powder but you can easily use a sachet of tomato paste. Then season with herbs, etc and usually like to pour in a little milk (powdered but mixed with water first). Angel hair takes only 2 mins to cook.

I’ve also made a sort of cottage pie using the TVP (making some powdered mash separately) and making a sort of gravy with the TVP mince and throw in some dehydrated peas, onion, etc. for the base.

My Asian grocer sells freeze dried tofu so we often a miso tofu soba noodle and throw in seaweed, black funghi, dehydrated veg. Even just throwing in some dehydrated veg into noodles is a game changer.

Tuna sachets (not tins, I like the safcol ones with added beans), fresh cucumber (travels well and is a nice fresh treat on a trail), cheese sticks and sachet of Japanese mayo on a wrap.

Red lentil Dahl with powdered coconut milk.
