The Making of a Meal

I like a good sandwich and often they are my preferred riding food on long days and overnights thus dispensing with the cooking hassle. But when temperatures are a bit cooler there is no denying the satisfaction that comes from a warm meal after a long day destroying your body. Like many other adventurers a long time staple for back country food has been Instant Ramen noodles. They are quick, if uninspiring, so finally I started adding flavor and texture and calories to turn your typical instant Ramen into a meal. This one ends up at about 410 calories and is quite filling at a cost of close to $2.50 in Canada.
What's your favorite packaged food hack?

The ingredients:
                            1 package instant Ramen

                            2 dried Shiitake mushrooms
                            1 1/2 Tbs. dried vegetable flakes
                            4 pieces beef jerky (about 1.5 oz)

All prepped

Bagged and ready for trip!

I cooked up this one for lunch at work!
