Frying Process For Ultimate Crunch
The Golden Warm-Up
The secret to a perfect puff is Precision Heat.
-
The Setup: Pour 1-2 inches of a high-smoke point oil (like Sunflower or Canola) into a deep pan. Avoid olive oil to keep the flavors pure.
-
The Temperature: Heat the oil to 180°C – 190°C (350°F – 375°F). If you don’t have a thermometer, drop one small piece in—it should sizzle instantly and float within 2 seconds.
-
Pro Tip: This ritual is best enjoyed when the oil is hot and ready.
The 5-Second Transformation
Watch the “magic” happen. Our high-protein pellets are dense with nutrition and ready to expand.
-
Small Batches: Drop a small handful of chips into the oil. Do not overcrowd; they need room to grow!
-
The Expansion: In just 3 to 10 seconds, the chips will rapidly expand and “bloom” like a flower.
-
The Exit: As soon as they are fully puffed and turn a beautiful light golden color, remove them immediately with a slotted spoon.
The Perfectionist’s Finish
Maintain that brittle, airy texture by removing every drop of excess moisture.
-
Drain & Air: Place your freshly fried chips on a wire rack or paper towels. A wire rack is best as it allows air to circulate 360 degrees, preventing them from becoming soggy.
-
The Cooling Secret: Crucial! Let the chips cool completely before eating or storing. Never put warm chips in a container—the steam will create moisture and ruin that hard-earned crunch.
-
Serve: Once cool, pair with your favorite dip or enjoy the pure, unadulterated flavor of 50% real protein.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Don’t let the weight fool you! Because our chips are highly concentrated and expand significantly when fried, a single 100g pack of Nasi Republik dried chips will produce a volume similar to 5–6 packets of store-bought fried chips. You are getting premium value in a compact, honest bag.
Because factory-sealed bags of ready-to-eat chips often contain stale oils and preservatives to keep them “fresh” on a shelf for months. By frying at home, you get the Ultimate Crunch and the peak aroma of real protein that only a freshly made snack can provide.
We recommend using a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as Canola, Sunflower, or Vegetable oil. Avoid olive oil, as its low smoke point can make the chips taste burnt and mask the delicate flavor of the real fish or shrimp.
Heat the oil to 180°C – 190°C. If you don’t have a thermometer, drop one small piece into the oil; it should sizzle immediately and expand fully within 3-10 seconds.
Nasi Republik chips will stay fresh for 3+ months if kept in their original packaging in a cool, dry place. For the best experience, once opened, we recommend transferring the dry pellets to an airtight container.
No! While oil frying gives the most traditional “Chips” puff, you can not air fry them.
This is almost always due to the oil not being hot enough. If the oil is below 175°C, the starch won’t gelatinize and expand. Wait for the “Sizzle Test” before starting your batch.
Yes. Unlike mass-market snacks that use artificial “flavors,” every Nasi Republik chip is made with 45-50% real protein (Tuna, Shrimp, or Chicken breast). We use high-quality ingredients to ensure a nutrient-dense snack that supports your health goals.
If you manage to have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container once they are completely cool. In high-humidity areas, keeping them in a sealed bag inside the fridge or a tin can help maintain that “day-one” crunch.
