This pickled canned mustard (Zha cai) is the stem of a plant in the cabbage/mustard family.

That ended up looking much better than I expected, but it definitely was a smaller ration compared to most others, more like a lunch than full dinner.

Putting some of that pork & pickled into hot rice, mix then let it sit- flavor soaks in ! Amazing.

The pickled stuff is basically a Chinese version of kraut, it's supposed to be mixed into rice/noodles/congee for a bit of extra flavor.

Howdy Amigo! I have tried, 3-4 types of these rations. Only problem I found, veggies and fruit, minimal portions, maybe 3 pcs. Mains, usually rice and protein , taste excellent. I love the knife Bro! Your sides seem larger than I remember? The FRH'S rock, although concerned, what they are made of, LOL. I wipe off U.S., mres, after cooking, so, I dang well do, foreign rations. Main, as always, is large and filling. I am glad you enjoyed Dane! Peace from Ky. Need me yell, peace, John.

i dont understand why picked vegetables arent more common with rations because they can literally turn make the most subpar base much more tolerable

That's true. They add a ton of flavor and some decent nutrition too.

@@ReadinessRations Yes, in Far Eastern cuisine, pickled veggies are often not meant to be eaten alone; in this case, they're to be used as a condiment/texture enhancer.

G'day mate, great review as always, the Chinese rations are generally pretty tasty. Even though they lack the sides they are a satisfying meal. Cheers mate

Nice job on this one👍Madog had a different menu with those same mustard green type things. When you said cumin I instantly thought 5 spice, as you later mentioned, I bet that was fantastic. Repacked from canned is odd unless canned to them means something else.🤔

I kinda dig these chinese mains and I think it's because they are fairly oily. Much better than those Uncle Ben's rice packs you can buy. Great video buddy!

Also, I'm pretty sure this is the civilian version. I remember the military version usually came with some extra snacks like condensed biscuits, beef rolls, or canned peaches.

First, it takes 10 minutes to heat the main dish up properly in the FRH. Second, the pork & pickled vegetable, are made to be eaten WITH the main dish.

First, I gave it 10 minutes plus some. Second, I did eat the components together after trying them separately. Thanks!
