To prepare this meal, simply open the pouch and remove the oxygen absorber. Add the specified amount of hot water directly into the pouch. Stir the contents thoroughly to ensure even rehydration. Close the pouch securely and let it stand for the recommended time, usually around 5-10 minutes, allowing the food to heat through and the texture to soften. Stir again before serving directly from the pouch.
