4. 1 spud per man chopped small
5. Some peas 
6. Some cabbage chopped
7. A dash of soy sauce if you have it
8. A couple of tablespoons of curry powder
9. A packet of prawn flavoured noodles 
   (Maggi noodles come with different flavoured sachets inside)

What you do

De claw yabby’s and put claws on ice. Peel tails and chuck with everything else in the camp oven except for the noodles and prawn flavouring cover with water and bring to the boil then add flavouring and stir in. Then add the noodles by crushing them in your hand and letting them fall into the oven. Give it a stir and let simmer for twenty minutes.
