Add some dairy or goat's milk, and a little sugar, and consume. Enough calories for a half day's work, for sure, and great tasting as well.
Your post reminds me of the practice of soaking dry beans overnight before cooking them.

I suppose the same could be done to rice.

It could turn out that just soaking the rice could save more energy than anything I have tried.

Sometimes I feel like I'm re-inventing the past.
