There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I love these because they have these sauces and toppings you can add that are all included in the bag and it makes me feel fancy when I'm out on the trail haha. But seriously, these are delicious and VERY filling. My husband and I usually split one. I put mine into a little insulated coozie bag things so it stays hot while soaking, also usually soak a little bit longer than it says. Highly advise mixing it once or twice while soaking, it seems to blend the flavors better, prevents powdery chunks on the bottom, and helps to evenly hydrate everything.
All in all.... pretty good!
Following the directions exactly, the noodles were still a bit underdone. Resealing the bag and waiting an additional 5 minutes fixed that.
Portion size was decent. A lot of these bagged meals claim way more servings than they actually contain, but this one could be a light meal for two no problem. Or one big bowl for a thicker guy like me.
Flavor was surprisingly good. a lot of freeze-dried foods lack in flavor overall, but this has some depth to it, thanks to the peanut sauce. I would probably add a little spiced chili oil, as there was not a lot of spice to it, but if, like my friend, you don't do hot/spicy, this will work out fine for you.
Also, my friend is a vegetarian, and this meal is vegan. So that works out well. I'll be buying her a multipack of this.
Was stoked to find a tasty vegetarian option for freeze dried / quick shelf stable meals.
I understand it's freeze-dried, so I tend to give some leeway for that. But, even so, it's just okay. It's not bad, mind you.
The pouch --
Like some other brands I've tried, this one comes in a pouch. The pouch design deserves to be discussed too. The idea in these pouches of freeze-dried food is that they're easy to carry in a backpack, without refrigeration, and that they have a long shelf life. So the pouch design plays its role in this.
The pouch is made of thick strong material. It has an aluminized interior surface, which is excellent for trapping the heat (or cold if called for). It's thermal insulation. This helps keep the food at the right temperature for longer.
The pouch also has a zip-lock top so it can be sealed to trap the steam, allowing the food to be thoroughly re-hydrated.
The bottom of the pouch is pleated, with the sides going straight down, which makes it very stable as it stands upright. This is important to help with pouring in the water and stirring without knocking over. Because of the thickness of the material when you expand the bottom to make it stand upright it helps the top stay wide open too. With just one hand the water can be poured in, the opening is wide enough.
Top reviews from other countries
Before I purchase this Pad Thai, I have watched and read a lot review about it and most of the people agree on its wonderful taste. Still, with skeptical, I bought one for my camping trip.
When I open it up, there are a bag with three little bags & a small paper pouch in it: peanut butter, roasted peanut, hot sauce and lime crystal
These are the extra ingredients you can add into your Pad Thai once it's ready.
When adding hot water, try not to add too much at once. You would want to add some more if you found the water it not enough. Over adding water will ruin its taste as it become watery. Once Pad Thai is ready, add in those ingredients till it fit your taste.
If you get it just right, you will have one of the best dehydrated food ever! The complexity level of its favor will blow your mind, and the most surprising is the lime crystal did not overtake other favors. If you like hot, spicy, add in some dried pepper flake will further boost the taste.
A definite recommend camp food imo!
This Pad Thai didn't disappoint. Very delicious and satisfying - easily enough for two people.
The only drawback (which didn't matter to us this time, but . . .) I feel like at 8.1 oz this pkg is on the heavy side for carrying into the back country.
I've since bought more.
