  • 1 pinch fine sea salt

At home:

Pack all the ingredients in a sandwich or quart freezer bag (depending on method used). Seal tightly.

FBC method:

Add 1¼ cups near boiling water to the bag, stir well and seal tightly. Put in a FBC cozy for 15 minutes. Fluff up.

Insulated mug method:

Add the dry ingredients and 1¼ cups boiling water to your insulated mug. Stir well, cover tightly and let sit for 15 minutes. Fluff up.

One pot method:

Bring 1¼ cups water to a boil. Add in the dry ingredients and take off the stove. Cover tightly and let sit for 10 minutes. Fluff up.

In cool temperatures use a pot cozy to keep warm.

Serves 1 to 2.
Notes:
This is a large recipe, so you may find that it serves 2 smaller appetites better.
On the rice you can use white or brown, depending on how you prefer it – brown cooks best one pot method.
This recipe was inspired by Ski, a hiker who makes up batches with raw rice and lentils. This was my offering to make it more “trail friendly”.
