Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai, 2 Servings per Pouch – Freeze-Dried, Vegan, 20g Protein

Camp-ready Pad Thai that travels with you

Meet Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai, a longtime favorite for cooks on the move. This two-serving, vegan entrée rehydrates with just 2 cups of boiling water in about 10–15 minutes, delivering a comforting, protein-forward dinner without relying on takeout. The recipe blends Thai-made rice noodles with vegetables and a garlic sauce that balances spice and sweetness, while extra roasted peanuts add a satisfying crunch and depth of flavor.

What’s inside your pouch

• Contains 2 - 2 serving meals
• Rice noodles and veggies with a spicy, sweet garlic sauce
• Dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan

Rice noodles are crafted for this brand in Thailand, then blended with authentic spices, herbs, garlic and peanut butter back in the USA. The protein comes from organic non-GMO textured soy protein, providing about 18 grams per serving. Extra roasted peanuts are included for crunch and pizzazz, while Lime & Sirach sauce packets offer a customizable zing for those who want a brighter finish.

Protein, flavor and texture on the trail

Two servings per pouch make it easy to share with a friend or save half for later. The aroma is savory and inviting, and the combination holds up well after a long day outdoors. If you want a tailored heat level, use the Lime & Sirach packets to adjust the brightness and spice to your liking.
