If touring I use whatever I find at stores and restaurants but if I am bikepacking (usually back-country) there are no (or not many) stores so I pack my own freeze dried meals. I use both of these authors recipes and mix my own freeze dried meals. Andrrew Skukra and Sarah Kirkconnell. These pack much smaller than the store bought FD meals and much cheaper.

Some of her single bag recipes, I don't use freezer bags, use an insulated pot. Easy recipes and tasty:
