In camp:

FBC method:

Add the chicken to the bag and 1¼ cups boiled water. Seal well, put in a cozy and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain carefully any remaining water. Sprinkle in red pepper flakes to taste along with the soy sauce and dressing. Toss to coat, adding in half the peanuts. Sprinkle the the other half on top.

Insulated mug method:

Add the noodles and chicken to your mug. Add 1¼ cups boiled water and cover tightly. Let sit for 5 minutes. Drain carefully any remaining water. Sprinkle in red pepper flakes to taste along with the soy sauce and dressing. Toss to coat, adding in half the peanuts. Sprinkle the the other half on top.

One pot method:

Bring 1¼ cups water to a boil, turn off the stove and add in the noodles and chicken. Cover tightly and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain carefully any remaining water. Sprinkle in red pepper flakes to taste along with the soy sauce and dressing. Toss to coat, adding in half the peanuts. Sprinkle the the other half on top.

Notes:
Packets of peanuts can be found at fast food places that sell sundaes (about 1 Tbsp chopped per bag) and online.
We used lower sodium soy sauce packets.
3-ounce chicken pouches are not easy to find now. Use a 4.5-ounce can, often sold in 3 packs in large stores.
You can use any ramen like noodle, including rice noodles to achieve the taste you prefer. We used baked ramen in this recipe.
Asian style dressing can be found in most grocery stores, carry it in a plastic bottle for a day or two. Use between 3 and 4 Tablespoons. Packets can be found online, or bought in delis at grocery stores.
