To prepare, locate the fill line inside the pouch. Carefully add the specified amount of boiling water to the pouch. Stir the contents thoroughly to ensure all the food is submerged and begins to rehydrate. Seal the pouch and let it stand for the recommended time, usually around 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once rehydrated, the meal is ready to eat directly from the pouch. Ensure the water is hot enough for proper rehydration.
