Stevie... had a thought... my lad buys packets of noodles when we're at the supermarket, they're about 20p a pack. Plain noodles with a flavouring pack in them... one of the flavours being prawn.
If you prefer the rice, why not boil in the bag rice (about £1.20 for a 4 pack) and 4 packs of noodles with the flavourings. Mix the flavouring into the rice, you have your prawn flavoured rice for 50p a throw.
Just an idea.

..........Or get the boil in the bag rice and use some of this;

It's really delicious, (fairly hot) and a teaspoon full would be enough to flavour the rice.
Yeah, there are lots of different options i could use.
I liked these dehydrated rice thingies as i could boil some eggs, pour water into rice bag and make a brew at the same time..lol The thing with boil in the bag rice is the time it takes..20+ mins or so...in 5 minutes i could have all three things mentioned above done and dusted.
Also, i tend to travel light so dont really have a big pot with me, just a small SS home made billy. most of my cooking is either done on a stick or in the embers. Two days of living off a beach, small pieces of burnt wood and ash in your food doesn't really bother you that much.
But cheers for the other options...
everyone requires a pot...I want to be able to just add water, sit back for a few minutes or make a brew, open the pack and bobs your uncle. I wont be taking pots and pans. just a water boiling container that i dont wish to use for anything else. trying to keep everything to a minimum.
Coulscous! Put couscous in bowl/mug/sliver foil envelope boil water on jetboil or similar. Add water to couscous. Think lovely thoughts, or not, fluff couscous add anything you like, veg, meat, shelled boiled eggs. Mix with fork, scoff. Done. I have a list of things I make with the jetboil and a single bowl... Couscous, instant rice vermicelli noodles, quinoa, tabbouleh, konjac rice, noodles or pasta, smash, and various dehydrated veg such as onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, there are also packs of instant lentils you can chuck in as well as tins of fish, meat, veg. I've successfully cooked mini corn, pod peas, asparagus, long beans, carrot batons and pepper strips in a jetboil too... And boiled eggs. Without screwing up the cannister.
I understand what you are saying, no messy cooking eating washing up afterwards. I got addicted to all the mugshots trying to choose the best for overnights. I am partial to Kibuto noodles for their taste.

Home bargins at the moment have meatballs and spagbol in tear off ready to eat packets, they aslo sometimes have asian pudding rice call jeera. We often eat them cold for overnighters, my old man calls it hard rations, taste good to me.
I wonder if you could place the bag in boiling water just enough to heat through without the bag melting...or maybe i could use a tupperware dish of some sort..?

The jeera can be boiled in the bag. Well warmed at least. One packet serves 2 campers or 1 hill walkers portion. The hotpots are good cold as well, very filling with plenty of protein. They sometimes do a range of very good veggie curries in boil in the bag. The chickpea curry works well cold.
I detract from OP's original question, but may be of interest to someone.
Aldi, Bilash rice, was in a hurry so did not read pack details properly, I think you pour bag contents into 400ml of of boiling water, and the rice absorbs the water and is ready to eat, 250 grams in pack and 59p.
I only seen 3 types Pilau, egg fried rice flavor and plain basmati, I will give the Pilau a try as I'm not at all keen on basmati rice, but each to their own, would not be surprised if they are not all basmati though.
Anyone seen this sort of thing in a boil in the bag version ? Thai Jasmine Scented rice, my favourite.
