Rice noodles and veggies are blended together with a spicy, sweet, and addicting garlic sauce. We’ve even included roasted peanuts for added texture and flavor — it’s all about the details. The best part? All that stands between you and your Pad Thai is some boiling water and a bit of time. The best got even better in 2018. Vegan Pad Thai has been our best-selling entrée for many, many years now. We wouldn’t mess with high-protein, gourmet perfection but now you can “spice it up” a little more with additional lime & Sriracha Sauce. If you like Backpacker’s Pantry Vegetarian Pad Thai just the way it is, save the lime & siracha packets for another day or to add some flavor to another camping food brand’s boring Pad Thai. Rice noodles are made just for us in Thailand. Back home in the USA, we blend authentic spices, herbs, vegetables, garlic and peanut butter together for the most popular of our international dishes. A REI best seller for many years. With 18 grams of protein per serving coming from Organic non-GMO Textured Soy Protein, Pad Thai is nutritious and delicious. Extra roasted peanuts are included for crunch and pizzaz. Travelers, athletes, hunters & students love this vegetarian meal. Dairy-free, Gluten-free and Vegan. A perfect freeze-dried meal to set aside for emergencies. Those with allergies to gluten will love to travel with this meal. Needs only 2 cups of boiling water & 10-15 minutes to hydrate. Even easier than carry-out! Seven year shelf life lets you be prepared for any emergency. ## Features - GOOD FOOD ON THE GO. Enjoy straight-from-the-kitchen taste wherever you are with our Pad Thai.

Can anyone confirm?** A: Yes, it actually is listed as gluten free on the front of the bag. **Q: Do these meals give you gas?** A: I use these for backpacking and I do not feel that these meals increase gas. The Pad Thai is no exception either. There is a red beans and rice offering that could increase gas some I bet. **Q: Is this item gluten free?** A: My package states on the front that it is gluten free and vegan however the back says that it is produced in a facility that processes peanuts milk soy wheat gluten egg and tree nut. **Q: What is the shelf life from today 10/10/17 Thanks** A: i , too, received old rotation and all mine expire in 2 years!!! I specifically ordered these for emergency , as they stated a 7 year shelf life .. not happy ! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Damn good for freeze dried food! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 20, 2025* The pad Thai in particular from backpacker’s pantry is very good. Good flavor, nice texture for freeze dried, price is comparable to similar quality brands - no notes. It’s very similar to real food! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my favorite backcountry meals! *by on Reviewed in the United States February 15, 2024* So my all time favorite is the Chicken Pad Thai from Backpacker's pantry - IT IS SO GOOD! But honestly this is just as good, it just doesn't have the chicken.I love these because they have these sauces and toppings you can add that are all included in the bag and it makes me feel fancy when I'm out on the trail haha. But seriously, these are delicious and VERY filling. My husband and I usually split one. I put mine into a little insulated coozie bag things so it stays hot while soaking, also usually soak a little bit longer than it says. Highly advise mixing it once or twice while soaking, it seems to blend the flavors better, prevents powdery chunks on the bottom, and helps to evenly hydrate everything. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, different, vegetarian and SUPER EASY *by on Reviewed in the United States January 17, 2018* It is good - not great, but good for something different, and I love that it is vegetarian. The taste is comparable to the average frozen meals you can buy in the grocery store. It is not quite as good as Mountain House (at least not this flavor) but it is vegetarian and has a higher protein content. It says that it is spicy, but it is not really that spicy. It also has some vinegar in it, which I wish it didn't. However, it does have enough other seasoning to make up for the vinegar and lack of hot spice, and it is at least not bland. How authentic the "pad thai" flavor is I don't know. But authenticity aside, it is pretty good for freeze dried food that can be cooked and eaten directly from the pouch.This brings me to another point - how easy it is. Open up peanut butter packet and mix in the bag with the other ingredients, add hot water, stir, wait 15 minutes and eat right out of the bag. No prep, no cleanup, just a bag to throw away when you are done. For this it deserves some credit. I am actually using some of these at work where I can just pour hot water from the water dispenser. It is a convenient office meal when you don't have time to eat out or prepare lunch ahead of time.Overall, this is a good product and I will buy it again. The taste is decent, although not really spicy, it is vegetarian and has better nutritional value than most other backpacking foods. And regardless of authenticity, it provides something different than the same old mac and cheese, chicken, beef or chicken and beef flavor typical of the other brands.TIP: add less water at first, especially if you don't have a way to measure 540 mL, then more can be added if needed and that way you can avoid having a watery or diluted meal. Also, eat less of this and have a yogurt cup, protein drink or protein bar to cut back on the carbs and make more meals out of it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai - Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food - Emergency Food - 23 Grams of Protein, Vegan, Gluten Free - Backpacker's Pantry Three Sisters Southwestern Quinoa & Beans - Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food - Emergency Food - 18 Grams of Protein, Vegan, Gluten-Free - 6 Count --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/209520614-pad-thai-freeze-dried-backpacking-and-camping-food-2-servings](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/209520614-pad-thai-freeze-dried-backpacking-and-camping-food-2-servings) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
