I hope you've had a chance to check out how to make and enjoy this trail food I thought a bit more explanation might be necessary, so I'll talk about it a bit more The reason I made this trail food is that I often go hiking, and I noticed that these kinds of products are rarely available in the market Trail food is available, but finding vegan and organic options is nearly impossible in Japan This Patagonia Provisions is the only option available While there are a few other options available, I actually often take this one with me on my hikes
However, due to the limited variety, bringing this on every hike means I have to rotate it, and I start to get tired of it over time Sometimes, I feel like having something different, so I bring plant-based ramen or similar options, but they may not be as healthy, I suppose There's a restaurant called DILL in the Yatsugatake Mountains, and they sell trail food under the name 'Small Twist.' They have some delicious options, including plant-based ones, at that place. However, it's so popular that it's often hard to get your hands on them That's why I decided to make it myself and created this
I happened to be into raw food more than a decade ago and had a dehydrator, so I thought, 'If I have a dehydrator, I can make trail food,' and that's how I made it This is super easy to make actually. I simply prepared the fried rice the same way I would when making it at home and then dehydrated it using the dehydrator The drying time usually takes around 6 to 12 hours, depending on factors like the size of the ingredients Then, all you need to do is vacuum-seal it, and when you want to eat it, just add hot water, and it's ready to enjoy I'm using Henkel's reusable vacuum-seal bags for this However, out of the five, about one to two of them ended up with some air inside
I suspect that the dried rice becomes hard and sharp, which may lead to punctures in the vacuum-seal bags If that's the case, vacuum sealing might not serve its purpose, so it seems like I've got do something about it I'm thinking that it might be a good idea to place something like a Ziplock bag or a piece of thin wood(Kyohgi) inside as a double layer to prevent punctures If I come up with any good ideas, I'll be sure to share them in the next video Since this was quite easy to make, I'm thinking of trying to make pasta or. Additionally, mixing powdered milk like coconut milk powder with rice can allow you to create something like a risotto, right?
My main reason is simply that I want to enjoy delicious food while on the mountain When I create a new trail food, I'll definitely make another video about it. Bye!
