Did you wieght the fried rice before dehydrating so you know how many grams of water you need to rehydrate fully? i would recommend using ghee as a frying oil as it does not go rancid very quickly. We just use regular ribbed vacuum bags rather than the more expensive mylar one if we plan to use the dehydrated meals with afew months. Never have thought of rehyrated fried rice before, as we normally dehydrate the ingredents seperately then rehydrate before cooking due oils going rancid. We have dehydrate cooked pasta as a seperate ingredent before for our overlanding trips and it rehydrates very well, steam rehydrating giving the best results with most food which we them fry if the recipe needs it. Our dehyrating has been aimed at medium to long term food storage, the reason i mention ghee is we are currently using some we made back in 2017 and it is still good, the note attached to that batch and how much we payed for the butter shows a 119% increase in price and the water content of butter is 1.2% higher for the same brand than in 2017. Thanks for the camping meal idea, we will give it a try as we would use it in less than a month at most. Take care, God bless one and all.

Thanks for the tip! Definately going the check out ghee. I did not weigh it before rehydrating. I actually never do that. Always cover my food with water about one cm above the food when rehydrating and its works perfectly all the time.

I'm going to try this recipe for myself for camp meals

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

Love to hear that. I hope you will enjoy it.

Hi, where do you get your bags from?

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

They come from amazon. They offer all kind of sizes.

[@JulieThelander]

Thank you😊

Fried rice for a hiking meal? Ok I'm interested

Yeah it tastes really good.☺️ And it works really well.

Hoi Sandra, das sah wieder mal nach einem leckeren Essen für unterwegs aus. Ravi hat dir anscheinend auch ganz neugierig beim Kochen zugeschaut ;-) So eine Vakuumversieglung bringt sicherlich einige Vorteile mit sich. Vielen Dank für's Zeigen! *Tot ziens* _Vroni & Micha_

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

Hoi Vroni und Micha. Danke. Es freut mich dass auch dieses Video euch wieder gefallen hat. Ich finde es echt mega schade dass wir momentan so wenig wandervideos hochladen können wegen das schlechte Wetter. Ravi wollte es auch gerne mal ausprobieren 😅 aber er bekommt doch besser sein eigenes. Die Gewurze wurde der kleine Mann warscheinlich nicht so gut gefallen 😋 Schöne Sonntag wünsche wir euch. Liebe Grüsse, Sandra und Ravi 🐾

Can you drop these bags into bpiling water to cook/hydrate, or do you have to remove the contents and add water to the food to cook? Thank you

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

I put boiling water in the bags so I assume the other way around (dropping them in water) should be working fine as well. But you have to make sure that the ones you are buying can handle boiling water because not every mylar bag can.

Hi! I’m just now exploring back dehydrating back packing meals, how do you know how much liquid to add to rehydrate a meal?

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

Hi. I always make sure that the amount of water is around half a centimeter (or a whole centimeter if I want that specific meal to be a bit more saucy) above the food. Works all the time.

[@gwenprice4979]

@@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl thanks, do you pour the water into the pouches you sealed them in?

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

Yes I do or I use zip lock freezer bags.

[@rajeshagrawal1703]

Can we dehydrated fried french fries??

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

I don't think so. 😅

[@Witch-is6os]

Hi, I'm new here. Great recipe. Could you please tell me the amount of everything you used so I could try it out. Thanks

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

Hi and welcome. For this recipe I cooked two portions of rice and the rest was actually not measured. I Just took the amount I liked for the veggies.

[@Witch-is6os]

@@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl Thanks, I will try it. Now I just need to find the Spice Pack in a German Store. Looking forward to other recipe's from you. You might want to look at the Book from Kevin Ride "Backcountry Eats". He is from Kanada. His KZbin channel is "Kevin Outdoors" I really like his recipes. Something totally different. How did you overcome the fear of walking by yourself or sleeping alone outside. I guess you have Ravi. The fear is really holding me back. Thanks Sylvia

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

@@Witch-is6os I think you will find them at Edeka or Rewe. Maybe Kaufland as well. Yeah, Kevin has some great recipes! I actually never had any fears of being out alone. I have never done it differently as I have nobody nearby who is interested in multi Day hikes as well. So I actually never tought of the fears and just enjoyed what I was doing. Ofcourse I always have Ravi with me indeed and I think that will help as well 😉

How to rehydrate the fried rice?

[@YosiAndriani-nk1du]

Maybe you can show us on your video how to rehydrate when you go hiking, thankyou

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

@@YosiAndriani-nk1du that's a good idea, thanks. Will include that in my next video about the subject. What I do is that I cover the food with water completely. About 1cm above the food. That I let it rehydrate for about 20 minutes. Workes all the time.

[@YosiAndriani-nk1du]

I'll wait for it. Love to watch your video 🥰
