      Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai Veggie - 2 Servings:

      I disagree with some of the other reviews. I have tried ALOT of freeze dried food, and this is probably my favorite meal. It tastes delicious, isn't as ridiculously high in sodium as most meals, and is satisfying to eat after a long day. Every trip i take i include one meal of this. It is as easy as any meal to prepare, add water. Since peanut butter is most of the sauce, it is important to mix it, i just squeeze the bag up and down for 5 minutes during cooking. Despite being vegetarian, it has plenty of protein thanks to the peanut butter and peanuts. One of my favorites

        Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai Veggie - 2 Servings:

        This product gives a bit of spice to the normal camp dinner. You do have to do slightly more work than add water shake and let sit. However the little extra effort is worth it and you almost feel like your really cooking on the trail. Great taste and a break from the hum drum pasta and chicken dishes night after night after night.

          Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai Veggie - 2 Servings:

          After a long day of hiking on the AT we settled into camp and I got to work making myself dinner. It took a little bit of time to prep compared to my hiking buddies who had canned soup and MREs but I'm sure I had the best tasting meal of the day. I was very hungry and could barely finish the whole meal even though it was delicious.

            Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai Veggie - 2 Servings:

            This is some of the worst food I've ever had. I've had Pad Thai from dozens of places, both good and bad, but this is an entirely different level of bad. If I could give this 0 stars I would.

            If the bad taste isn't enough to discourage you, the preparation is terrible too. 13 minutes to let it sit and once it's done you better have something else to put it in to stir it all up.

            NOT recommended.

              I just returned from a 7 day BWCA trip and had several of these for dinner. For one, I had never had Pad Thai before, despite being a vegetarian for 19 years. Great seasoning and very filling. Sticks to your ribs. I'd highly recommend this entree.

              Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai Veggie - 2 Servings:

              Flavorful for a freeze dried meal, but lacks a certain something to make it authentic, but for camping freeze dry food, not a bad meal.

              Seems to need a bit of spice to finish flavor. Working on best combo, maybe pepper flakes. 5 stars if better flavor.

              Prep time is a bit long, maybe 15 min plus, but tolerable. A bit watery if prep'd per instructions, maybe use a little bit less water.

              Full meal and then some for solo, better for two and a desert on side.

              Will be eating again.

              Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai Veggie - 2 Servings:

              I did not experience the issues with the crunchy noodles as some have, except for a few ends which I did not submerge properly in the boiling water; however, it requires so much water to get the noodles to soften, it ruins the flavor of the dish.

              I think that four things could improve this meal: (1) break the noodles, (2) use 1/2 cup less water, (3) include dried basil leaves, (4) add basil oil (and maybe fish sauce) to the oil/peanut butter package.

              then it would be well on it's way to tasting right

                The flavor was great, spicy but not so much that you have to gather extra water. The cook time was a little long but no worries there as there's always something to be done around camp while you wait. I actually ate mine in my coffee cup as it is a pain to reach deep into the bag.

                I really love pad thai so I may be a bit too critical about a freeze dried product. It is lower in sodium than most freeze dried full meal products. The problem is pad thai is a very salty dish and this one is definitely lacking in that department. I didn't think it was horrible. I think it is unfair to expect authentic pad thai from a bag in the woods. I plan to try it again and bring a few extra ingredients. Namely the sorely missed fish sauce and lime juice. It also needs the coconut milk but I don't want to add that much weight to my pack.
