Directions

  1. 1On a large baking tray, combine the chips with sesame oil, Chinese 5 spice, fine/table salt, white pepper and garlic powder until evenly coated then cook to package instructions. If you're using an air fryer just combine everything in a large bowl first.
  2. 2When the chips are nearly done, place a large Wok over high heat and add the veg oil.
  3. 3Once hot, add the peppers and onion and fry for a couple of mins until they soften.
  4. 4Add the garlic, chilli and white/firm parts of the spring onion and fry for another 1-2 mins (careful it doesn't burn).
  5. 5Add the cooked chips, dark green parts of the spring onion and flaky sea salt and toss until everything is evenly distributed.
  6. 6Serve and enjoy!

Tips

  • These chips have a nice kick of spice - similar to what you'd get at the takeaway. Birdseye chillies are pretty hot, so just be aware that 2 go a long way. If you love spice you could add a 3rd.
  • As the name suggests, the chips should be pretty salty! The 1/2 tsp table salt on the chips is essential, then just work to taste with the flaky sea salt. If you've only got fine/table salt just use that to serve (start with less though!).
