To save time at camp, pre-cook the rice and teriyaki jerky at home, stick it in a zip-top bag, and store it in a small cooler until you are ready to make the meal. (Jessyca Sortillon photo)

Tired of eating the usual meals at camp or on the trail? This Teriyaki Beef Jerky Fried Rice Recipe delicious and will be a crowd pleaser.
Aside from the eggs and green onions, none of the ingredients in this recipe require refrigeration. If you’re in the backcountry, with no access to a small refrigerator or cooler, simply opt for farm fresh eggs that don’t need to be refrigerated and skip the green onions.
Serves: 4 Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
4 ounces Old Trapper Teriyaki-style beef jerky , cut into small pieces 2 cups uncooked long grain white rice 4 cloves garlic, chopped Half a small onion, chopped 2 tablespoons oil Soy sauce, to taste Sriracha sauce, to taste 2-3 eggs Canned peas and carrots, to taste Chopped green onion (optional) Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Cook white rice according to package directions—different rice varieties and brands will have their own set of directions. But before you put the rice on the heat, add the Old Trapper beef jerky to the pot so the jerky can soften while the rice cooks. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat and cook onion with a pinch of salt until softened and slightly browned. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Move onion mixture to a cooler part of the pan or transfer to a small bowl.Chopped onion browning in oil.

Allow the rice to sit for a minute or two in the oil to brown and then mix in the onion/garlic mixture.Onion-garlic mixture and rice-jerky mixture separated in the pan.
