I've made Khao Soi (northern thai coconut curry soup) with Ramen noodles. It was one of the best trail meals I've made
you'll need:
1 package of ramen noodles, throw away the seasoning
1 package of Khao soi seasoning https://www.amazon.com/Lobo-Brand-Thai-Kao-Seasoning/dp/B000ESIDBQ
1 package of coconut milk/cream powder https://www.amazon.com/Coconut-Cream-Powder-Chao-Thai/dp/B0095VQH5M/
1 package of chicken https://www.amazon.com/Chicken-Breast-Protein-Snacks-Pouches/dp/B0025ULWVE/
freeze dried shallots and cilanto (Litehouse brand)
chili flakes
crushed peanuts
dehydrated lime juice (optional) https://www.amazon.com/True-Citrus-Lime-Shaker-2pk/dp/B01F2PKK8E/
​
To make:
Crumble a few noodles and reserve, cook the rest in boiling water, pour off a bit of the water and add the chicken, when warm, mix in the Khoi soi seasoning and coconut milk/cream powder, stir to combine. Add freeze dried shallots and cilanto and let them rehydrate, top with crumbled noodle bits, chili flakes to taste and some crushed peanuts, add a touch of dehydrated lime juice. Enjoy.
Here's the salt I used. That's nearly a lifetime supply right there.
I originally went looking for coconut milk powder but could only find coconut cream powder. This is the brand I ended up using, and maybe it's a translation thing, but I do think its coconut cream? When you let the noodles sit for a while in the powder, it really all thickens up nicely, making it pretty creamy and hearty.
I add this occasionally when I am cooking savory dishes:

Amazon actually sells an "Umami Powder" that is mostly mushroom powder. I just came across it today while looking for koji.
A few things I use that you might want to try.
Umami Powder
MSG
Kitchen Bouquet
Or try something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Hawaiian-Poi-Powder-1lb-Bag/dp/B008NXX7VA/ref=sr_1_2?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1453648885&sr=1-2&keywords=poi+powder.
plus your own sweetener and lightener.
Wait? Isn't instacure a pink salt?
Do you have a jug of pure sodium nitrite that you make your mix with?

Check the second picture, sodium nitrate in 6.25%.

Cure #2 http://www.amazon.com/Hoosier-Hill-Farm-Prague-Powder/dp/B00PIPUZ1Q/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1453237592&sr=8-7&keywords=salt+cure
As far as I know only those two exist.
Here are some links for Porcini Mushroom Powder, Portobello Mushroom Powder, Shiitake Mushroom Powder, Reishi Mushroom Powder, and powders consisting of mixed assorted mushrooms like this five mushroom one, this fourteen mushroom one, and my favorite of the lot: this ten mushroom blend. I utilize mushroom powders in soups, sauces, gravies and dry rubs for steaks and meats. One of my favorite ways to use porcini mushroom powder is to make homemade or frozen French fries, dribble them with truffle-infused oil, sprinkle sea salt and porcini mushroom powder and grated sharp white cheddar on top. It's my own version of poutine!
Amazon generally has everything you could want. Here are links to cape aloe powder, zedoary root, and zedoary powder.
