Cured egg yolks that are dehydrated can be grated or chopped up and used as a garnish. To make them in your air fryer, set the device to 150 degrees F or lower.

To start, make cured yolks by covering raw yolks in salt and sugar and refrigerating them for three to seven days. Then, gently rinse any excess salt or sugar away with some water.
