Keeping along the vein of easy camping meals, I created this next recipe with minimal prep in mind. It’s packed full of veggies and fresh herbs, with no fuss rice noodles, a final addition of Asian inspired vinaigrette and sprinkling of crushed peanuts.

I mixed the vinaigrette in a small jar, chopped most of the veggies in advance, and even cooked the noodles, drained and rinsed so when it was time to dine it was merely a matter of a quick sauté of the vegetables before tossing everything together.

I loved the fresh flavours and with the addition of edamame it gave us a decent amount of protein.  You would easily add some grilled shrimp or chopped chicken but this was more than enough for two hungry campers at the end of a long hot day at the beach. And the best part for me was F’s comment: “Mmm!  This one’s a keeper!”

Thanks a bunch for dropping by this week’s camp site and before you go why not try out more of my fave and easy bowl meals?…
