I found this stuff in Costco the other day.
Tasty Bite Brown Rice and Lentils. Some of the other products look interesting too.
I'm a salt freak so the sodium levels don't bother me, especially backpacking.

I microwaved a bag a few minutes ago. Really pretty good meal with a bit of Lea&Perrins Worchester sauce on it.
You can also boil in the sealed pouch it comes in as well. Might be a bit of a fuel user since it takes 5 minutes of boiling time to heat.
No big deal for a 2-3 day trip.
The main thing is it tastes good[to me] ,it's not heavy to carry, and you can eat it from the pouch it comes in. No cleanup.
