Description

Fried rice made for a cold winter night.

Ingredients

  • 1 1⁄2 c instant rice
  • 1⁄2 c freeze-dried mixed vegetables
  • 1 T dried chives
  • 2 t lower sodium bouillon (veggie, beef or chicken)
  • 1⁄2 t granulated garlic
  • 1⁄4 t dried powdered ginger
  • 1⁄4 t red pepper flakes
  • 1⁄4 t sugar
  • 2 pkt soy sauce
  • 3 oz spam single packet
  • 1 T vegetable oil (1 packet)
  • 2 fresh eggs, in shell
  • 2 c water

Instructions

At home pack the rice, vegetables and all the seasonings in a quart freezer bag. Tuck the soy sauce, oil and Spam in with it.

Bring 2 cups water to a near boil. Add to the rice bag, stir well, seal tightly and put in a cozy for 15 minutes to rehydrate.

Heat the oil over a medium flame in a non-stick trail wok or 2 Liter pot and add in the Spam. Cube up and stir-fry till turning golden. Add in the cooked rice and stir constantly till smelling great. Splash on the soy sauce to taste and mix in.
Make a hole in the center and crack the eggs into it. Start scrambling them and then toss with the rice. Pull off the heat as soon as the eggs are setting up.

Notes

Notes:
Spam Singles are sold in the pouched/canned meat aisle. Find freeze-dried vegetables by Just Tomatoes at many local grocery stores and REI.
Fresh eggs carry well in the cooler months, just cut off part of a cardboard egg box and carry in your pot, padded with paper towels.

great!

We made this for dinner on our first overnight backpacking trip ever, just this past weekend.

We didn't have eggs, but it still tasted great!

For some reason, the 2c water was way too much, so I ended up spooning out the rice and veggies into the frying pan with the spam...turned out awesome anyway.
