Back Country Cuisine Nasi Goreng – Freeze Dried Rice Meal

Lightweight Freeze Dried Rice Meal for Tramping & Backcountry Use

After a full day on the track — whether you’re climbing toward a hut or pushing through exposed ridgelines — you want something hot, filling, and easy. Back Country Cuisine Nasi Goreng is a lightweight freeze-dried rice meal built specifically for backcountry use.

This vegetarian, gluten-free meal blends rice, pumpkin seeds, vegetables, and egg in a mild Asian-style sauce. Just add boiling water directly into the pouch and in 10–15 minutes you’ve got a satisfying, high-energy meal without carrying excess weight.

Made in New Zealand for real tramping conditions.
