To prepare, you simply need to add boiling water directly to the pouch. The recommended amount of water is usually indicated on the packaging. Stir the contents gently to ensure even distribution of the dehydrated ingredients. Then, seal the pouch and let it sit for the specified rehydration time, typically around 10-15 minutes. The heat from the water cooks the ingredients and softens them for consumption. It can be eaten directly from the pouch, making cleanup minimal.
