Mountain House Chicken Teriyaki
What it is
This is a freeze-dried meal designed for convenience and portability. It features tender pieces of chicken in a savory teriyaki sauce, combined with rice. The freeze-drying process removes moisture, preserving the food's flavor and nutrients for long-term storage without refrigeration. It's intended to be a complete meal that can be prepared quickly with just hot water.
How people cook with it
This meal is ideal for situations where fresh ingredients and cooking facilities are limited.
- Backpacking trips
- Camping adventures
- Emergency food supply
- Quick weeknight dinner
To prepare, simply open the pouch and add the specified amount of boiling water. Stir the contents thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the water and to help the ingredients rehydrate properly. Close the pouch and let it stand for the recommended time, usually around 10 minutes, allowing the meal to heat through and the textures to soften. Stir again before serving directly from the pouch for easy cleanup.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh or canned meals, this freeze-dried option offers exceptional shelf stability and a significantly lighter weight. The rehydration process is straightforward, and the final texture and flavor are designed to be comparable to a freshly cooked meal, though the rice may have a slightly different consistency.
Who it is for
Outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking convenient, long-lasting food options will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It does not require refrigeration. Once prepared, consume the entire meal. If there are leftovers, they should be refrigerated and eaten within one day.
