Comfort Noodles
Ingredients:
- 1 cup freeze-dried or dehydrated pasta (egg noodles)
- ½ cup freeze-dried green peas
- ¼ cup freeze-dried chicken
- 1 tsp or 1 packet low sodium chicken bouillion
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt (or as desired)
Also Bring:
- 1 Tbsp or 2 packets parmesan cheese (shelf stable)
Directions:
Pack ingredients in a quart freezer bag or a mylar bag, putting the parmesan cheese in a small sack, tightly sealed. For longer-term storage, add a desiccant or oxygen absorber and seal. (Discard the packet before cooking.)
To prepare:
If using, place the freezer bag in an FBC Cozy. Add 1¼ cups boiled water, seal, and let sit for 15 minutes. Stir well, then add the cheese.
One Pot Method:
Bring 1¼ cups water to a boil in a small pot and add the dry ingredients. Stir well, cover tightly, and remove the pot from the stove. In cooler temperatures or at high altitudes, insulate in a pot cozy.
Serves 1.
