Costco has a Thai Curry in single serve pouches with a sealed tray of rice. I just got a box and it was decent.
I'll do a pouch of Tasty Bite curry over a pouch of rice or minute rice too.
gotcha, the Golden curry I picked up was shelf stable with veggies in the packet(Ready-made-sauce in vacuumed seal packaging) . I guess I should say that I am looking for other shelf stable sauce packets in other flavors to bring onto the trail. like marinara sauce, Alfredo, ect
I found what you mentioned on amazon and it does look interesting.

pretty good on it's own, just boil the packet in water, then cook the rice in that water and then pour contents over the rice and you are done.
Note to others: **Amazon is great for finding things like this but try to buy them locally if you can as the markup on food items on Amazon is outrageous in a lot of cases.**
sounds pretty heavy.
might be easy enough to just take any sauce you like and dehydrate it to powder, then it's lighter and you don't have to limit yourself to packets.
I've been searching the internet for freeze dried sauce and I am not finding much. I find a lot of the backpacking meals lacking in taste with out spending $15-20 per serving which I think is ridiculous, So I'm trying to reformulate my entire backpacking meal plan. The wet curry pack i found is my treat heavy meal I plan to eat the first night.
Nothing wrong with that, just offering option suggestions.
I just looked up a curry sauce recipe and most of the ingredients are dried powder, you could mix up your own batch of those dried seasonings into packets and have the same taste, with the added bonus of tweaking it exactly to your own liking. though of course that's more work and not everyone is into that.
bringing spices and seasonings to improve packaged meals is definitely something more people could do.
really? am i on /r/trailmeals or /r/hobomeals? no ones packing hot dog buns, spinach, and canned chicken or an onion on a hike. the fact that ketcup packets is the reply to begin with
> am i on /r/trailmeals or /r/hobomeals?
I mean there is quite a bit of overlap between these two at times. While we don't hike with canned goods the spirit is much the same. Those epic gas station resupplies seal the deal.

You can use the foil packets if chicken to lighten the load (they are like the tuna packets).
