It was only yesterday when I thought about creating a fake Pot-Noodle for camping recipes. We go camping in our Mazda Bongo several times a year in the UK, be it for one night up to 2 weeks.
We keep to the UK so we can bring our border collie, Hans absolutely everywhere with us. I just cannot conceive leaving a pack member behind so we always get the perfect weather.
Speaking of the weather, we also go camping in rain, snow or ice - not a lot puts us off, but when needing to nip outside of our comfy camper to get the food and cooking apparatus can be very off-putting, encouraging bad choices.
The more frequent we go away, the more I seem to get quick, cheap, and easy cooking down to a fine art.
We used to buy fresh food daily and pull out the bbq or portable gas cooker but it soon gets expensive. After a Summer 2014 2-week road trip touring the coastline of untouched Scottish scenery, we found that shops were few and far between and prices were high - particularly when visiting more remote Islands.
Given the choice, I would always opt for fresh ingredients, but tinned is far more practical for camping - this is the concept for my new series of recipes I will be creating for my YouTube Channel.
The idea is that the meals are to be quick, one-pan only, and need only basic appliances, such as a kettle or a hob/flame and a mess tin. If they are quick and basic, they would also suit people who are not confident in the kitchen, students or those short of time.
So getting back to the Pot Noodle concept or mug of noodles that are tastier than mugshots, I found a reduced Pot Noodle (Original Curry) today for 30p and bought it for analysis (and ate it of course) - it has been a few years since I had one.
So instantly, I raided my kitchen cupboards to attempt to create my first practice at the popular Beef & Tomato version from memory and made it using my new soup mug which conveniently has a lid and a handle. It also got my fiance's approval who is my harshest critic.

The recipe is estimated as syn free as opposed to using 6 syns on the real thing. And the idea behind this recipe (if you go camping), is that you do all the prep before you go away by adding all of the dry ingredients first and on the day you want to eat it, you add the wet ingredients and hot water. Simples. That way you can pack light.
