Notes

Depending on where your hiking, such as near a creek, you could forage for watercress-a superb addition to any backcountry meal. Top your dish with fresh cress if your lucky. I’ve eaten this dish hot or cold. If you’re near a stream , hold the bag in the running water to cool and eat like a salad – delicious!
You can boost this meal by adding almost any dehydrated vegetable or mushroom at home to the ziplock bag. I sometimes add dehydrated tofu sheets or knots to meals for added protein. Asian markets sell many dehydrated ingredients that are great to use in backpacking meals.
