In Camp

One Pot Method:

Add 1 cup water to a small pot, boil, and add the chicken and dry ingredients. Cook for 1 minute, then sit for 2 minutes. Add in the flavor and oil packets, tossing well. Sprinkle on the coconut on top.

 FBC Method:

Place the freezer bag in an FBC Cozy. Add the chicken and 1 cup near boiling water to the bag. Mix well, seal tightly and put in a cozy for 5 minutes. Do not let sit to long, as the noodles can get mushy.

Carefully drain off any remaining water, leaving a few Tablespoons behind. Stir in the flavor packet and the oil. Top with coconut and eat.

Serves 1.
Notes:
This was an older recipe, dating back nearly 20 years. Revisiting it, I found that Thai Kitchen has narrowed down the ramen they make to only three flavors. They do not make the Thai Ginger flavor anymore, so I used Spring Onion instead. Honestly, the flavors are all tasty, so ue what you can find. Normally I can find the packets in the “ethnic” Asian section in grocery stores.
Cabbage is easily dehydrated at home. Buy a bag of shredded, spread it out and it will be dry in just a few hours.
Overall, while I wouldn’t recommend this for those on an ultra-low-sodium diet, the dish has reasonable amounts of sodium, about 800-1,000 for a very filling dish (depending on how much chicken is used). The ramen has 500 mg that we used. If you drain the chicken or use pouch chicken, it would have less. A small packet of Walmart chicken breast has 360 mg of sodium.
This dish would also be good for vegetarians. Leave the chicken out and add cashews chopped up with the coconut.
