Chicken Rice with Vegetables (Single Serving)

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Expedition Foods’ delicious light-weight meals provide the perfect nutrition for a wide range of outdoor pursuits. Freeze-drying food is the most successful method of preservation, making it taste better, look better, weigh less and last longer.

Expedition Foods says

Made with tender cooked chicken, peas, sweetcorn and hearty rice, this favourite meal has fuelled expeditions, sailors, bikepackers, ultramarathoners and every day adventurers around the world. Just add hot water and in five minutes you'll be ready to enjoy a delicious meal.

Preparation: Remove the oxygen absorber (sachet) from inside the pouch. Add 180ml of boiling water, stir the contents, and then close the bag and wait 5-8 minutes for the food to re-hydrate.

Cold water will suffice in an emergency, however the re-hydration time is much longer. The oxygen absorber helps maintain product freshness and is non toxic. Do not eat.

Expedition Foods meals have a long shelf life of up to 5 years.

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - "Lovely strong flavours, and the rice and veggies hydrated well, we often find rice meals can be a bit stodgy but this was light and easy to eat. The herbs, especially the thyme tasted fresh, and added a lot of depth."
