The pouch holds 2 servings totaling 500 calories and 20g of protein, prepared by adding hot water directly to the resealable, bowl-like pouch with no pot or cleanup required. The meal is dairy free, gluten free, and free of artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReal Flavor Without the Cleanup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePad Thai with Chicken is built around rice noodles, chicken white meat, red bell pepper, green beans, carrots, and green onions, seasoned with tamarind extract, tamari soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, oyster sauce, and sambal oelek. That combination of sweet, savory, and lightly spicy notes means a meal that reads as a real dish rather than a camp compromise. Because the pouch itself serves as the bowl, there is no cookware to scrub at the end of a long day: just seal and pack out the empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReady in Under 10 Minutes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreparation requires only hot water added directly to the pouch. The meal is ready to eat in less than 10 minutes, which matters when daylight is short, fuel is limited, or weather has turned. No stove-top simmering, no draining, no separate bowl. The resealable pouch format also lets you eat at your own pace without the meal going cold in an open pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDietary Attributes Worth Knowing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pouch is certified dairy free and gluten free, and contains no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Allergen note: the meal contains sesame, soy, and fish (anchovies). Recyclable packaging is stated on the product page.
