  • Number of Servings: 1
Ingredients
100 gram(s) Minute Brown Rice (raw) - 50 grams = 1/2 cup 5 grams dried mushrooms2 small (5-1/2" long) Carrots, raw Pulsed in food processor.2 stalk, medium (7-1/2" - 8" lon Celery, raw Pulsed in food processor.1/2 cup Peas, frozen Mix in cup or jar:20 grams Soy Sauce 1/2 tsp dried or grated fresh ginger1/2 tsp Chili Sauce, Hunan Red, Heavenly Chef 1 fl oz Sake or sherry1 oz mushroom soaking liquid2 green onions - dehydrated separatelypack separately (a 50 ml "airline" vodka or whiskey bottle works well)Add on the trail.5 grams Peanut Oil 4 grams Sesame Oil
Directions
Soak Minute rice and mushrooms together for 2 hours. The mushroom water really flavors the rice!

Chop the softened mushroom into 1/4" pieces.
No need to cook the rice.

Boil 1/2 cup of water or broth in a non stick pan or skillet.
Pulse carrots and celery in food processor in 1/4" pieces and add to boiling water. Add frozen peas to the carrots/celery in pan and cook for 10 minutes. Water will evaporate from the pan.

Drain rice/mushrooms. (Save the flavorful liquid!) Add rice/mushrooms to vegetables/pan to make fried rice with no oil.

Add soy, ginger, chili, sake and mix into "fried" rice.

Dehydrate until all ingredients are dry. Put dry ingredients in a ziplock bag. Add two previously dehydrated green onions for a pop of color and flavor.

Put oils into a bottle that won't spill. Airplane sized 50 ml liquor bottles work well.

Add oil on trail, after rehydrating rice and vegetables.

Can be eaten hot or cold. I usually go stove-less and rehydrate for 3-4 hours in cold water.
