A Thai-Inspired Meal Ready in Under 10 Minutes

Yellow curry sits on the sweeter end of the Thai curry spectrum, and this version is calibrated for casual curry fans: enough spice to warm the palate without overwhelming it. Tender chicken pieces and long-grain parboiled rice round out the dish, making it a filling option after a long day on the trail or at camp. Because preparation requires only water added directly to the pouch, there is no pot to wash and no separate bowl needed.

Eat from the Pouch, Skip the Cleanup

The pouch is designed to stand upright and function as a bowl once water is added, so the meal is ready to eat straight from the bag in less than 10 minutes. That means one less piece of gear to carry and one less thing to clean at camp. The recyclable pouch keeps the footprint light for Leave No Trace travel.
