Expedition Foods’ delicious light-weight meals provide the perfect nutrition for a wide range of outdoor pursuits. Freeze-drying food is the most successful method of preservation, making it taste better, look better, weigh less and last longer.
Expedition Foods says
A much-loved Thai dish consisting of tender chicken, fluffy rice, peas, mixed peppers and onions fused with coconut milk, green chilli and lemongrass. This best-selling dish is great at home, on a remote island in the Maldives or anywhere else that takes your fancy...simple to prepare, just add hot water, stir and wait five minutes.
Preparation: REMOVE THE OXYGEN ABSORBER* (Sachet) from inside the pouch. Slowly add hot water, stirring as you pour and then close the bag. Wait 5 minutes for the food to rehydrate. Cold water will suffice, however the re-hydration time is much longer.
* The oxygen absorber helps maintain product freshness and is non toxic. DO NOT EAT.

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - If you don’t normally have a starter try a cup-a-soup with crackers to boost the meal. I added 260ml boiling water and resealed the bag – left it wrapped in a down jacket for the full 8 minutes. Tasted absolutely delicious and it has big chunks of chicken in it – not just chicken flavouring – reconstituted well. Tasted like Thai Green Curry but not very strong. The peas hadn’t fully reconstituted but they still tasted like peas just a bit crunchy. Very impressed! |
