Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’m going to share a fantastic secret for boiling quail eggs and peeling them with incredible ease. Whether for a side dish or a snack, these chewy and flavorful eggs are always a hit. Say goodbye to the frustration of peeling!
Step 2
First, fill a pot with enough water to completely cover the quail eggs. Once the water comes to a rolling boil, add 2/3 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. The salt and vinegar help prevent the egg white from escaping if the shell cracks and also aids in loosening the shell for easier peeling. Carefully add the quail eggs to the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes. This duration is key to ensure they are cooked through yet remain delightfully chewy.
Step 3
After boiling, immediately drain the quail eggs and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water. Then, submerge them in cold water for a while to let the shells soften and loosen, making peeling much easier. Let them soak for about 5-10 minutes. Once cooled enough to handle, transfer the quail eggs to an airtight container with a lid. Add just enough water to lightly cover the bottom of the container.
Step 4
Now, securely close the lid and shake the container with moderate force, moving it back and forth. You’ll see the eggs bumping against each other, cracking the shells and causing them to separate from the egg inside, almost like peeling a puzzle. After a good shake, you should see the shells starting to break apart, making peeling simple.
Step 5
Voilà! You’ll find that the shells slip off effortlessly, without any of that annoying sticking. This method allows you to peel a large batch of quail eggs quickly and without much effort. Now you can enjoy your perfectly cooked and easily peeled quail eggs!
