Sarkhai Crisp

Sarkhai Crisps were a type of vegetarian, yellow chip made of sliced and fried root vegetable with a sprinkle of brown garnish and short ribbons of dried algae seasoning. The dish was created by the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs during a culinary tour of the galaxy that he took between 34 ABY and 35 ABY. Tuggs harvested root vegetables with just the right consistency to use while on Sarkhai, the Mid Rim homeworld of the Sarkhai species, and added the algae for a little bit of extra Sarkahi flare, believing that they made the crisps look like they were decorated with the face paints that the Sarkhai wore to scare of predators.

Tuggs then included the recipe for the dish in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published in 35 ABY. In the book, he called the chips beautifully crispy and tasty enough that their "war paint" would scare off no one.

Sarkhai Crisps were created as a recipe for the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The out-of-universe recipe for the chips makes use of peeled russet potatoes, vegetable oil, kosher salt, ichi-mi tōgarashi, and nori.
