🥚Tips

To satisfy the appetites of 4 adult-sized tummies: considering 1 has pasta & salted egg as their favorite, and another a close second, and not the least, a growing boy... 

-2 packets of salted egg, or 

-1 packet of salted egg mix + 4 salted eggs steamed, and mashed.

Next version, use 2 salted egg packets, add more evap milk, and more water in appropriate portions.  Texture should be a bit runny.
