Harvest Right Freeze Dried “Better Than Ramen” Soup Cups!!!

[@debraschwicht9741]

If you KNOW that a batch of meat is going into the soup jars, you could season it with sriracha(!?) before putting them in the dryer.

[@hopefilledliving]

This interaction between the two of you is so precious. Your apothecary is such a source of inspiration. I literally cried, missing my mama, who just passed away in June.

[@SeareanMoon]

yeah, it adds a lot to the videos to see her and her mom, especially when you own is gone, mine is too and she was a good funny one like this mom!

[@poetsgarden1]

yeah me too

[@jayc6159]

I like to put freeze dried vegetables & meat in the rice cooker steamer basket with the rice on the bottom, the steam does the rehydrating. It’s my go to easy lunch.

[@Amsayy]

That's genius! Gonna do that with my instant pot

[@SandyVos2012]

Mason jar omlets are amazing. I have a bunch in my pantry. Used 1/2 pint jars and four tablespoons of fd eggs with all the stuff …cheese, sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms, whatever … then to mix with everything in the jar fill it with water, shake and let rehydrate two or three minutes. Perfect for one person.

[@srudie]

I love that idea

[@debichats8634]

You both have had me in tears from laughing at y’all fighting with those lethal noodles! Too much fun! What a lovely family you are! ❤️

It got me in my eye 🤣😂

@@TheHoneystead - how about freeze-dried pickled peppers?

[@MLBLrawbeliever]

Oh my word...I am just rolling. I love watching this channel and I love your mom. It is wonderful watching the two of you together. My mom is no longer with me and I miss her so much. That lady taught us a lot about the old ways. She was an herbalist However then then there was not a label for it. People were always calling or coming to her. My sister and I began to go back to the old ways several years ago based on what we remembered of her preserving foods. I began studying herbalism earlier this year and I am so thrilled to be able to help my family and others. The Honeystead channel has been a blessing to me in so many ways. Our tiny homestead thanks you and please keep sharing.💞

[@DocKingliveshere]

Cute! I bought a vacuum jar sealer thing on Amazon that sucks all the air out of jars for less than $20. Use it all the time.

[@honey214sr]

Do you have to use oxygen absorber if you vacuum seal jar? If you only use a portion do you use vacuum to reseal? I’m a newbie at this 😊

[@DocKingliveshere]

@@honey214sr I do for "just in case" reasons. I do reseal between uses with the "using" stuff in the kitchen.

[@finixfire8323]

If you're open to trying different noodles and have access to an asian store. You can get rice flakes, made as flat squares, usually for pad thai. They'll give you an easier time to fill the mason jar with

[@TheHoneystead]

That’s a great idea!!!

[@kimproffitt3419]

Great idea ladies! You can also freeze dry rice which turns it into instant rice and use that in jars with vegetables and meat. Love your channel!

[@mehtarelingolien]

They mean cooked rice, in case of any misunderstanding.

[@joannhonaker518]

Does freeze dried rice clump together like dehydrated? That was lethal too. Any prevention?

[@patriciapullen4870]

I love you mom’s laugh. I miss doing things with my mother, enjoy every minute with her.

[@TheHoneystead]

💛💛💛 I most definitely am!

[@pollyabrahams7383]

Oh my gosh. You 2 are too funny. You are so lucky to have your mom to do this with. I lost mine 14 years ago and I miss her so much. She would have loved doing this with me.

[@phyllisatkinson4401]

I love you and your Mom!!! Brings tears to my eyes. I lost my Mom , my garden , canning , everything best friend. Your videos bring my memories back to me, you both are just like we were, lol!!! And you make me want a freeze dryer so bad. Thank you for sharing!!! Bless Y'all! I learn so much!!!

[@terrim.602]

I love that your mom is so fun and works with you, active in your life ❤❤. What memories! 🥰🥰

[@karenpolzin8297]

Thanks for the idea! I bought mine Freeze Dryer thru your link last year, I have 134 loads done so far. I feel I made a good investment.

[@TheHoneystead]

Ohhh that’s so awesome!! What’s your favorite thing been so far?

[@JanuaryLisa]

A spoonful of peanut butter powder would make this sooooooo good!

[@LisaSaliture]

How to vacuum seal with freeze dryer: Take out the tray carriage and the trays. Take one tray, turn upside down and put into empty freeze dryer. Turn on vacuum pump from menu Seal for a couple of minutes!

[@DocKingliveshere]

Works really great if you put your jars inside before turning on the vacuum! :) (Good tip!)

[@pamb548]

To vacuum seal jars all you have to do is pull rack out and unplug it. Put tray in with jars on it and push the vacuum test button. Run test for 2 minutes and that’s enough to vacuum seal jars. It’s very easy.

[@adsrentals]

I love my freeze drier, I bought a small in June of 2021 and another in May 2022. I can use one for processing and the other for quick freezing trays because my freezers are usually full. Then there are times I process onions, peppers and kale in one, fruits in the other (aromas don't contaminate) Costco rotisserie chicken processes great, have even done smoked turkey that I bought on closeout after Thanksgiving. I've powdered a lot of vegetables to make soup seasoning blends.

[@lorikedrow7727]

Every day is a whole new thing for them. It’s so great watching them.

[@constancebeck2992]

I've made the raw omelette in silicone muffin tins. Freeze dried then stacked in wide mouth jars. Used ham cheese peppers and mushrooms. Worked great! when you reconstitute they become portion controlled liquid again

[@JuliaHerych]

I love watching like how you speak and do it TOGETHER. That’s a magic❤ so friendly fun and cozy. I want that so badly… warm greetings from Ukraine

[@sharonabdullah]

your mum is so cute, so cute together. great share thank you

[@patriciashiery6735]

freeze dried fruit cups or fruit cocktail from home grown fruits would be great as well

[@TheHoneystead]

Oh that’s fun!!

[@ginnyoneil47]

I love your silliness please don't change. In a crazy world we need more laughter. Love the idea of my own ramen noodle soup thank you.

[@BradKandyCroftFamily]

Thanks for showing this rehydrated. I think the biggest downside to so many freeze drying videos is they never show things rehydrated. So I have learned things the hard way.

[@ariedekker7350]

It's always a party when you're together. So pleasant to see.

[@Sharon-mn6fb]

I love watching you both.. I miss my Mom so much.. we canned, garden laughed ect.. I have laughed watching you both..brings back wonderful memories with my Mom ❤.

[@cherrilstarr9320]

Thank you for not editing any of that out. Learn and laugh while i go. You rock

[@deathtodragqueen]

Side note to keep cilantro and other herbs fresh in the fridge: trim the bottoms, put them in a glass of water with a bag on top OR a large mason jar with a few inches of water and the lid on! This works sooo well.

[@LittleKi1]

Just stumbled on this and laughed so much at you guys laughing at yourselves. My favorite quote is "blessed are those who can laugh at themselves for they will never cease to be amused." Really lovely to see on KZbin....or anywhere on social media, actually. Also, totally doing this.

[@olliebear5143]

Looking on the site for the Harvestrite Freeze Dryer…I read the reviews. One or two stood out majorly….the fact that customer service would not help by repairing or replacing their broken freezers. A few were so unhappy as they really didn’t have the money for repairs even if they could’ve found someone…after spending the huge amount to buy one. One fellow only had his 4 mos. when the motor quit, customer service would not answer. I’ve been researching for awhile but will go with an American made company with good customer service!

[@ButtercupAndFernHomestead]

This may be exactly the video I need to convince my hubby to buy the freeze dried. He eats ramen 6-7 days a week. The omelette and the ramen alone would save us so much. You noodle heads are so funny. I love your relationship.

[@paularobinson2352]

We use ours constantly. Definate game changer for left overs.

[@Baneironhand]

As far as the candy thing I've only done some skittles which are fine if you like skittles. My favorite desert candy thing though is cheese cake. Freeze it and then slice it when it is frozen in to 1/4 inch or so slices. Helps if you freeze the trays first so you don't have to work at lightning speed. Even better than ice cream.

[@Baneironhand]

Oh add some freeze dried strawberries in the package as well.🤤🤤

[@TheHoneystead]

Yum!!!!

[@alexiscameron6936]

I love watching how much fun you have together because it reminds me of my mother and I. I purchased a freeze dryer and few months ago for food and now it’s a fun project my mom and I do together. Thanks to you ladies we’re now learning the medicinal side as well and growing what we can. I have done a few things I’ve been pretty happy with. Omelets are delicious. I made tzatziki for gyros and freeze dried the extra sauce for future dinners. We made cold start yogurt in the instant pot then freeze dried it plain for recipes. Also freeze dried different berries and fruit then powdered in the blender to divide into yogurt for different flavors. Apple sauce bites are also delicious. So many possibilities with it.

[@geanamarcum6449]

You girls are adorable! I've watched 1 or 2 videos before but found your medicinal garden seed start videos (trying feverfew now for my migraines) and have not stopped watching you guys! I've been trying to learn preserving and medicinal gardens, so you guys are helping sooooo much thank you! Also, the bees are amazing and a far future goal for me! watching you helps me wait on bees.

[@KarenShady-l4b]

I love these ideas. I would really like to see more freeze dried meals in jars… (pleeease) And you guys had me laughing. You’re relationship with each other is lovely

[@homesteadrevivals]

We prep freeze dried meals for road trips. In the mid-morning, the recipe goes into our lunch box oven. At lunch, we find a nice place to pull over and enjoy a hot meal. I love your better than ramen idea!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

I saw!! Because of that I got the large. Go big or go home, lol. I am so excited to get it and use it!!!

[@seaglassmomma4040]

There are some brands of those rice noodles that come in single serving sizes that are already wrapped up in a rounded shape that would fit perfectly in the jar. I bought a pack because sometimes I want just a little especially if I’m frying them to puff up and it’s really hard to tear the big bunches apart. They can be labeled as nests. This is a great idea that I will be doing for myself because we are ramen lovers but most ramen has gluten and MSG both of which I can’t have so I need these for myself.

[@francour9]

I freeze dry a bunch of fruits and grind them into powder. They make very quick and easy smoothies with no messy cleanup. I’d like to start freeze drying some herbs to add to them as well.

[@TheHoneystead]

I agree!!

[@Mary-wv8uj]

If you want some heat without having to freeze dry your sriracha, you should try gochugaru! It’s Korean red chili flakes. Super tasty with a great kick!

[@Linda-kq8ef]

If you like the flavour(s), try freeze drying other condiments that may go with those flavours. Eg. Soya sauce, hoysin, hotpot.

So many amazing ideas flowing because of this video! And I don’t have a freeze drier…yet. I have a huge bush of Thai basil in my garden, and I so badly wanted to hand it through the screen. I am inspired to make Pho broth and freeze dry it!! There is a super simple, super delicious recipe for making it in the Instant Pot on KZbin. That would be a game changer for me. 🥰 I look forward to learning more from your channel. Especially about herbs.

Get some kitchen scissors used to cut chicken to cut those noodles. That is what I use. Be sure to also cover over the topof it with a sheet of plastic wrap and weight it down before you cut. Or if you have someone working with you have them hold the plastic wrap down over the noodkeswhile you are cutting it.

A vacuum sealer is a lot cheaper then using your freeze dryer and pump. I loved your struggle with the noodles I needed a good laugh, thank-you!!

I make these as well but I use the ramen pucks from the Asian grocery store. I also make little sachets of soup using rice or small pasta and put them in a styro foam cups with a lids for homeless. I even did an real Asian version with napa cabbage, enoki mushroom, fish cake, onion and carrot. Kimchi is also good freeze dried.

For vacuum sealing mason jars, or even doing your own jars that have the pops up when opened, you can use a pressure canning setup and a vacuum pump....the vacuum saver type attachments cant pull as much vacuum. And you can set multiple jars in the chamber
