Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1-2 ramen seasoning packets, any flavor (our favorite is Chile)
  • 1 cup dehydrated mixed vegetables
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, for crunch (optional)

Tools

  • Spoon
  • Stove
  • Measuring cup (*many water bottles have measurements on the side)

Method

  1. Boil water in your backpacking stove.
  2. Add quinoa, and cook until water is almost absorbed, about 15 minutes. (*You can purchase par-cooked quinoa, which will cut cooking time in half. Available at REI)
  3. Add dehydrated vegetables and ramen seasoning packet(s), and cook about 1 minute more.
  4. Turn off heat and let sit until water is fully absorbed and vegetables are tender.
  5. Top with peanuts, if desired, and enjoy!
