Thai Peanut Sauce
3 tbsp peanut butter powder
4 tbsp milk powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ginger root powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp paprika
Use 2-3 Tbls powder per serving.
Enchilada Sauce
2 Tbls tomato powder
2 tsp taco seasoning
1/2 tsp dried jalapeño
This recipe is per serving. Make great enchiladas by adding the sauce mix with rice veggies and protein and let rehydrate. Once you are about 2-3 minutes from being done rehydrating, add a handful of tortilla chips and mix in.
Pizza Sauce/Marinara Sauce
2 Tbls tomato powder
1 tsp Italian spices
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp homemade broth powder
Start with a small amount of water(warm works better, but cold is fine) and add more to get your desired consistency. Less water for pizza, more for marinara.
Cream of Anything Soup
1 cup whole dry milk (Nido is my favorite)
2 tsp chicken broth powder
1/4 cup instant potatoes
1 Tbls parsley
1/2 tsp dried onion powder
1/2 tsp dried garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 cup of your choice (mushroom, broccoli, chicken, potato, corn)
Mix everything well. 1/4 cup per serving
Parmesan Cheese Sauce
1 cup dry milk (whole milk powder like “Nido” is the best”
1 1/2 tsp dried garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 cup shelf stable parmesan
Mix all these ingredients together well. For one person combine: 1/2 cup instant rice 1/4 cup dried potatoes 1/4 cup dried broccoli 3 Tbls cheese sauce powder 1 cup of water plus a little more depending on how saucy you want it.
Pesto
Easy method
1 Tbls dried basil
1 tsp shelf stable parmesan
1 Tbls crushed walnuts
1/2 tsp garlic powder
pinch of salt
Better method (if you have access to fresh basil)
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup shelf stable parmesan
1/2 cup walnuts
3 cloves garlic
1/8 tsp salt
Use about 1 – 2 Tbls pesto per serving. If you are willing to bring it in, olive oil makes the meal much more rich and improves the texture. You can use straws like they do in the image here. Use up to 2 Tbls of olive oil per serving. I usually use 1 Tbls and it is great.
Curry
Add all the following ingredients into a bowl and mix well. A whisk or morter and pestle is best as it really mixes the spices well, but I have used a spoon before and it works fine.
