      Hey MN! My initial suggestion is to add 1 fresh veggie and some acid. Can also pack along some low/no sodium spice mixes to bolster the flavor of whatever your packaged meal is. Also check out this video for easy added freshness: ua-cam.com/video/lI9v0lEjL1w/v-deo.html

    Loved this on trail this week, I used a JetBoil Flash to make it. Because the stove gets so hot, once the noodles were soft enough to get submerged in the water, I really didn't have to bring it to a boil again; I just let them soak for a bit and then added all the necessary ingredients. I did substitute the coconut oil packet for a packet of ghee I had in the pantry, and it turned out great. Thanks Chef! Will definitely be using this again.

    You’ve inspired me! I caught you on Dan Becker’s channel. I’ve watched lots of these videos and I am also inspired by the names of some of these pre-made meals with awesome ingredients and some extra effort. For instance: chicken and dumplings. I think I could make this with actual dumplings on the top over a delicious chicken and veggies gravy. Why couldn’t you have the gravy mix mised into a bag and a dumpling mix in another? I feel like you could cook those dumplings with a lid and pot. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m going to start building my backpacking pantry and start trying some of these. You’re great! Content is awesome! I’m a trained chef and approve of all these recipes.

    • @ChefCorso
      @ChefCorso  2 роки тому +1

      I hear ya TZ. I trained in Northern Italy and when cooking at home, that is the absolute way to go. But trail cooking is slightly different, needing to tweak some steps with the equipment available. I found no flavor or quality issues with this method and the concentrated starch in the water was helpful for thickening the sauce.

  • @CharlesHanesIV

    I use rice flour in my Alfredo to thicken it up, now I kind of want to try using coconut milk and see what it's like.

    • @ChefCorso
      @ChefCorso  2 роки тому

      For sure, rice flour can work as well. And this was coconut oil, not milk. But milk could turn into a nice Thai noodle dish!

    • @CharlesHanesIV
      @CharlesHanesIV 2 роки тому

      I usually use milk and rice flour, I find the rice flour doesn't get gummy like normal flour and I don't usually have corn starch on hand. I know you used coconut oil, but I'm just curious what it would be like with the coconut milk. Could be good might be terrible, but I sometimes don't have regular milk on hand but I have plenty of cans of coconut milk I use for making curries.
      Love watching your videos by the way. 💚
