Recipe: Salted Egg Chip Sprinkles

I have some salted egg flavored crackling cravings lately and realized that I still have some salted egg powder left in the fridge. A chef once taught me how how to make an all purpose sprinkle out of it for popcorns, chips, chicharon and even chicken nuggets. 

I got this recipe when I attended the Unilever Chefmanship Academy last year. I tweaked the curry leaves, subbed it with curry powder although the two have different flavor profiles, the curry powder goes well with the salted egg taste. 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup salted egg powder

2 tbsp confectioners sugar

1 tsp chili powder

1 for tsp curry powder

1 tbsp salt

1 tsp chili flakes

1 tsp basil powder

Toss all ingredients briefly in a hot dry pan. Careful not to burn the spices or it will turn bitter.

Let cool and store in an airtight container for future use.

I made a small batch of potato chips, sprinkled these on top and oh boy it made me day.
