Coconut PB Noodles

Coconut milk, peanut butter, peanuts, and Cayenne pepper for a bit of a kick. This dinner was one of Renee's favorites on the PCT! It is so tasty and filling!

Ingredients (Serves 2 People):

  • 1-1/4 cups macaroni noodles
  • 1/3 + 1/4 cups peanuts
  • 1/3 + 1/4 cups dehydrated veggies (carrots, broccoli, & corn)
  • 1 Tbsp coconut milk powder
  • 4 Tbsp peanut butter powder
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 2-1/4 cups water to rehydrate

Before the Trail:

Dehydrating:
Peel & cut carrots into 1/8” pieces. We used frozen broccoli florets and frozen corn. Precook corn before dehydrating. Dehydrate carrots, broccoli, and corn separately at 135°F until they are crispy (~8+ hours).

Assembly:
Put coconut milk powder, peanut butter powder, and Cayenne pepper in a small bag. Combine remaining ingredients in a bigger bag along with the small bag. Vacuum seal bag if not eating soon.

On the Trail:

Put all ingredients except small bag into pot and cover. Soak for 5 minutes. Bring to a boil, and boil for 2 minutes. Add contents of small bag and stir. Soak for 10 more minutes. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Buy noodles that have a cooking time of 7 minutes or less.
  • Do not vacuum seal bags completely to prevent pointy dehydrated veggies from puncturing the bags. They will also fit better in your resupply boxes, backpack, and bear box if they are still somewhat flexible.
