Braising Sauce- 200ml water
- 150ml soy sauce
- 50ml brown sugar (or white sugar)
- 2 Tbsp corn syrup (or rice syrup)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Place the 50 quail eggs in a pot. Add enough water to cover the eggs. Add a pinch of salt and 0.5 Tbsp of vinegar; this helps the shells peel off easily. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Immediately transfer the boiled quail eggs to cold water and soak them for at least 10 minutes. This cooling process makes peeling much easier. Peel all the eggs completely.
Step 3
Arrange the peeled quail eggs in a pot. Add 200ml of water, 1 piece of dried kelp, 150ml of soy sauce, and 50ml of brown sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the eggs to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Gently shake the pot or stir the eggs with a spatula occasionally while simmering. This ensures the soy sauce evenly coats the quail eggs, giving them a beautiful, appetizing color. Stir carefully to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 5
Once the quail eggs have started to take on color, add the 50g of peeled garlic cloves and the 3 green chili peppers, sliced diagonally. The aromatic garlic and the fresh chili peppers will enhance the overall flavor of the braised dish.
Step 6
Continue to simmer and stir for about 3 more minutes after adding the garlic and chili peppers. Finally, add 2 Tbsp of corn syrup for a glossy finish and extra sweetness. Mix gently.
Step 7
Give it one last gentle stir to combine everything well. Your delicious garlic quail egg soy braised dish is now complete! It tastes great warm, but the flavors deepen even further when cooled and stored in the refrigerator.
