You may use store-bought pre-cooked salted eggs.

Yes, but you have to measure 8 pieces worth of salted eggs.
hi, thanks for this.

Use basil leaves instead. 🙂
Do you have any video of cooking salted egg potato chips ?
Unfortunately, we don’t. There are several videos you can watch on Youtube though. 🙂
How do you make the salted eggs yolks?
Look for salted egg yolk powder at your nearest supermarket. 🙂
Isnt that too much salt? I saw other recipes where they dont put salt.. How salty is your recipe?
It’s about right. Try the recipe for yourself to appreciate. 🙂
why it doesnt stay crispy after i coated it with sa salted egg mixture
Hi. Just got the reply from our chef. — “For the potato chips to stay crispy, let the salted egg mixture simmer with continuous stirring until it is drier, and has a paste-like texture. That’s the time you can add and toss it together with the potato chips.”
Hi may I know the measurement if we use salted egg powder instead of 8 pcs salted egg yolks?
Hi Sarah! You may use the following measurements if using salted egg powder:
1/2 cup salted egg powder
1-2 tbsp powdered milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp powdered dried curry leaves
