dehydration stations: tom kha noodle soup
spicy sour creamy herby
welcome back to my new series: dehydration stations! this is part two: tom kha noodle soup
this is what i crave after a day of hiking - it’s spicy, sour, super creamy and full of green veggies and herbs
note i dehydrate all my veggies in advance, and mix and match them to make meals as required. the veggies listed below are easily swapped for the same weight of carrots, corn, capsicum, or any other vegetable you’ve managed to dehydrate!
i like it with chicken (a classic tom kha gai) but have a feeling this would be amazing with beef jerky too, or salami if you’re feeling super rogue

add the boiling water to the bigger pouch of noodles and veggies and stir thoroughly, making sure to submerge the rice noodles as best you can
