Easy camping recipes for a full day outdoors

Good food can make a camping trip even more enjoyable. These simple meal ideas use practical ingredients and straightforward preparation for a full day outdoors.

Breakfast: avocado toast with scrambled eggs, herb potatoes, luncheon meat and sausages. Toast the bread until crisp, add mashed avocado and serve with your preferred hot breakfast sides.

Lunch: pan-fried chicken or sirloin with a soy-milk vegetable hotpot. Bring chilled meat safely, cook it thoroughly, then season to taste. For the hotpot, combine a prepared soy-milk soup base with vegetables and tofu for a warming, easy meal.

Snack: popcorn. Melt butter in a covered pan, add popcorn kernels and gently shake the pan while they pop. Remove from the heat when the popping slows, then add cocoa powder or your preferred seasoning.

Dinner: roast chicken and clams cooked with sake. Prepare and chill the chicken safely before the trip, then cook it thoroughly using suitable outdoor cooking equipment. Simmer cleaned clams in stock with sake and Japanese soy sauce until the shells open, discarding any that remain closed.
