Title: Thai pulled pork with slaw and fried rice -- camping version
Post by: BonitaApplebum on August 02, 2016, 12:18:57 PM
On this five day trip, everyone gets assigned one breakfast and one dinner. You cook for the crowd for your meals and then sit back and enjoy for the rest of the trip. My dinner will be Thai pulled pork sandwiches with slaw and fried rice. (I don't know if fried rice is overly "Thai" but the kids like it so much that I figure what the hell.)

Here's my game plan:

I drew the first night (tomorrow night), so I'm going to slow cook the pork at home and bring to camp -- if I had a later night I'd do that part in my dutch oven at camp, but I won't have time the first night.

Tonight:
- Shred cabbage and make dressing for slaw
- Prepare rice in rice cooker, refrigerate
- Prep the first part of the pork seasoning/Thai sauce

Tomorrow morning (at home):
- Slow cook pork, shred

Tomorrow afternoon (at camp)
- Toss together slaw
- Finish Thai sauce over camp stove
- Reheat pork over camp stove with Thai sauce (leaving some of the pulled pork plain for the kids)
- Stir fry rice on camp stove
- slice/prep sandwich condiments
- toast rolls on stove

I love cooking the first night -- then I can sit back and relax the rest of the time!

The flags look like papel picado. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on a South Texan's part.

One of my friend's kids brought the flags. I think he had them in his dorm room.

That sounds really good food. Way better than anything I could have ever come up with!

So, it did come out pretty good. I was unhappy with the bread selection I made. And it took a while to make camp, so I wound up cooking in darker circumstances than I would have preferred.

I think I'm in the market for a new camp stove. The one we have is too small to really cook two things at once, unless they are in tiny pots.

BUT I made a buttload of food and it all got eaten, so it seems like everyone liked it.
