Expedition Foods says

Our newest meal, Vegetable Stir Fry, has been influenced by our Asian travels and the amazing foods we sampled in Vietnam, China, Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand and Japan. It's dairy free and vegetarian, and contains a wide variety of vegetables including red and green peppers, bean sprouts, sweetcorn, brown lentils, peapods, bamboo slices, leek and carrots mixed with egg noodles and lemongrass to mention a few. This vegetarian meal is a crowd favorite among vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

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.

Our Verdict

Expedition Foods offers a good variety of main meals and desserts and a choice of serving sizes with their Regular Serving (450 kcal), High Energy Serving (800+ kcal) and Extreme Energy or Double Serving for Two (1000 kcal) ranges.

8/10

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - "didn't need much water added, which I think people neglect to think about and it hydrated well. Very flavourful, and filling, but I'd like a little more spice adding"
