  • This is the MRE used by Chinese Pilots on long flight missions. Very similar in design to the 1950's-1980's In-Flight Food Packets used by the U.S. Air Force. But with a much more exotic twist.
    Huge thanks to MRE Zone for sending in this ration!
    Check out his MRE shop here: www.mrezone.com/
    The next Asian ration will be from South Korea - sent in by a Veteran couple stationed in South Korea.

      Personally I agree with you, but Its not nonsense from the perspective of the grocery store. Best before dates are mainly there for liability reasons. Otherwise there would be grounds for sue-happy individuals to wreak havoc every time they were to get a stomach ache. Yeah. It sucks that grocery stores create so much waste. But for the owners it's much less of a hassle to enforce best before dates than it is to go to court because of some bullshit.

    If air in military airplanes is similar to that in commerical airplanes as in dry. Than I believe why the meal was made with so much sea food. It's probably very high in umami flavour which doesn't lose its taste in high altitude dry environments like other tastes.

    My Chinese wife says you eat a little pickled vegetables with each bite of the rice dish for flavor. Also the spicy sauce generally goes on the seaweed in most Chinese meals the pickled vegetables (xian cai) pronounced "shan tie" are eaten with each bite.
    Very common.

    • @Canadian-Asian-dude
      @Canadian-Asian-dude 2 года назад +6

      ... I’m pretty sure the pickled vegetables (without the adjectives) would be pronounced (shier tsai... kinda. It’s really hard to get the Chinese pronunciation in English). In Chinese pinyin, it would be spelled (xue cai). I have no idea what the (Shan tie) is supposed to be, but yeah. Also, yes the (xue cai) is generally called (xian cai), it’s just that this specific kind of pickled vegetables is called (xue cai), Just to let you know.

I really can't tell what translation system is she using. It's not Pinyin for sure and it's not likely Cantonese or Teochew, cause I speak both and it doesn't sound like them, either. So it maybe comes from some other dialect or older translation system.

    The soup is made with shreds of nori seaweed (same species used in sushi rolls) and beaten eggs, a very common dish because both ingredients are cheap and common pantry items.
    The pickle is indeed mustard green (Brassica juncea var. crispifolia) cured in salt and spices. I am a little bothered by the presentation because it is usually finely chopped before serving, but that form probably won't last four years in a bag so there's that.
    A lot of these items are acquired tastes and you have handled yourself pretty well :)

    I'm sure if these aren't expired they would taste much better. The kelp is a pretty common ingredient to be used in traditional Chinese dishes such as a cold appetizer. The seaweed egg soup is a classic dish too. The pickled veggie is made of Chinese leaf mustard or "gai choy". Pretty nice for a ration to include all those dishes.

      Chicken Burrito Bowl
      Beef Goulash
      Tortillas
      White Wheat Snack Bread x2
      Cheese spread x2
      Peanut butter
      Strawberry Jelly
      2 Orange/Lemon-Lime drink mixes
      1 Hot Chocolate

      2:38 "Seaweed and egg soup" Seaweed is spelled "Purple Vegetable" in Chinese so Steve thought it meant lavender :)
      2:49 "Umami Spice Sauce"
      2:55 "Five Spices Tuna Fish"
      3:30 "High Quality Toothpick"
      3:37 "Spicy Snow Vegetable" (I don't think people in america eat this... some of my white friends call it "Chinese Mustard")
      3:55 "Shredded Kelp"
      I love egg/seaweed soup like that, my mom used to make it for me every sunday morning :) same with the kelp, my grandma has the best recipes. looks like a great ration with comfort foods for chinese people.

    The soup's probably a classic chicken and seaweed egg drop soup.
    The kelp's properly translated as 'kelp ribbons', and you're right. It's an acquired taste - I hate the stuff myself, and drown it in hot sauce before chewing on it.
    The pickled veg is most likely Chinese Mustard in a spicy vinegar marinade. Good stuff.
    The rest looks pretty adequate - I'd chow down on that on a long flight, mixed together like Korean bibimbap.

    The tuna says "Five Spice Tuna", not white tuna. Five Spice Powder is a very common spice mix used in a lot of Chinese dishes, with a lot of variations (with some having more than 5 spieces) using spices like Star Anise, Cloves, Chinese Cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, Fennel seeds, Anise Seeds, Ginger, Nutmeg etc.
    Also the vegetable is just Spicy Pickled Vegetables. I think Snow Vegetable is just a term used to mean vegetables pickled for use in winter. This is more of a historical term for back when you can't find fresh vegetables during winter periods.
