I am a vegetarian looking to expand my options! Also, great pictures 🙂 I recognize many of them as camp spots on the JMT that I also stayed at on my thru-hike in August, 2019. Cheers!

Have you tried any of the ramen with cleaner ingredients? Mike’s Mighty, Lotus Foods, Koyo, Thai Kitchen? They are yummy and ain’t as salty.

Asian stores have round ramen noodle cakes, a little smaller than the square ramen cake packets. They do not have all the sodium and are not oil fried. They come in packages of usually 8 or 16 cakes, with no flavor packets, and cook in the same 3 min. You can add a little boullion (Orrington Farm), Celtic Sea Salt (mineral rich) etc.

I take 2-3 round cakes and crumble them, drop in boiling water and add a little Chinese 5 spice powder, a good squirt of soy sauce, then when almost cooked, add 4-5 eggs, and about 1/2 tsp dark sesame oil, or other oil, cook till done, and that is a good meal for 2. A plastic bottle of soy sauce is always in my pack, along with other spices. I saw a picture of a large/XL one week pill holder with 7 compartments that snap shut, holding 7 spices, I need to try that.
