Diced freeze-dried chicken, white rice, broccoli, peppers, and a teriyaki-style sauce made with soy, ginger, and brown sugar — sealed in a Mylar zip pouch. Add 1.75 cups of boiling water, seal, wait 9 minutes, and you have a hot Asian-inspired meal in the bag. 2 servings, around 550 calories total. The teriyaki note tastes deeper than you’d expect from rehydrated food.
Long-distance hikers, hunting camps, climbers on multi-day routes, and anyone tired of beef-and-pasta night-after-night picks this for variety. Pairs well with packets of hot sauce for backpackers who like to push the flavor up. Pouches store flat and have a tested 30-year shelf life.
Mountain House is freeze-dried in Albany, Oregon by Oregon Freeze Dry — operating since 1963.
