Let’s make quail egg jorim, a universally loved, classic Korean side dish that’s always a hit.

- 1 Red Chili Pepper
- 1 Green Chili Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’ll be sharing a detailed recipe for a staple side dish that’s always a welcome addition to any meal: Quail Egg Jorim. These eggs are wonderfully chewy and have a perfect bouncy texture. It’s easier than you think, so let’s get cooking!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the braising sauce, which is key to the flavor. In a pot, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oligosaccharide, and 1 cup (200ml) of water. Whisk everything together until well combined. Oligosaccharide adds a lovely shine, but you can substitute it with sugar if preferred.
Step 3
Next, prepare the quail eggs. If you’re using pre-boiled eggs, carefully peel all the shells off. It’s best to peel them gently to avoid damaging the eggs. Also, peel 5 cloves of garlic and set them aside.
Step 4
Once the braising sauce comes to a boil, carefully add the peeled quail eggs to the pot. Let them sit for a moment to start absorbing the flavors.
Step 5
Now, add the whole peeled garlic cloves to the pot. They will infuse the jorim with a wonderful aroma and subtle flavor as it simmers.
Step 6
To add a touch of color and a hint of spice, thinly slice the red and green chili peppers and add them to the pot. Removing the seeds is optional. These chilies make the dish visually appealing and add a slight kick to balance the sweetness. If you’re making this for children, you can omit the chilies.
Step 7
With all the ingredients in the pot, let it simmer. Begin by cooking over medium heat, allowing the sauce to penetrate the quail eggs. As the sauce thickens and the eggs begin to take on a nice brown color, reduce the heat to low. Simmering on low heat ensures the eggs don’t burn and the flavors meld beautifully into the core of each egg. Continue to cook until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Finally, garnish with 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds for a lovely finish. Your delicious Quail Egg Jorim is now ready to be enjoyed!
