I had an amazing dinner at Xi’an Biang Biang Noodles - large flat noodles covered in chilli oil with chunky oyster mushrooms. Lush. This is my version of that kind of meal, optimised for cooking in the woods with minimal fuss! In this recipe, I use dried mushrooms. Cooking the tofu and noodles in the broth infuses them with an amazing mushroomy flavour. Cooked in the mess tin, a brilliant one-pot-wonder meal that really packs a hot and spicy punch.

A warm spicy curry is a great option for an outdoor snack and proves that Trangia food doesn’t have to be dull reheated tins of mush. This is my dhansak inspired recipe creates a rich hot and sour gravy packed with lentils goodness. You can easily tweak the flavour profile to your tastes. I’ve suggested a single red chilli, but you can add more or leave it out entirely and it’s still delicious.
