Making Nutritious Quail Egg Jorim (Braised Quail Eggs)
Create delicious braised quail eggs, small in size but packed with nutrition! Quail eggs have nearly identical nutritional components to chicken eggs, and are particularly rich in Vitamins A, B1, and B2, which aid in boosting immunity and promoting scalp health, helping to prevent hair loss. Furthermore, lecithin helps activate brain function, improving memory and concentration, while Vitamin B12 is effective in preventing age-related cognitive decline. For adults, consuming about 10 quail eggs a day provides similar nutrition and calories to two chicken eggs, making them excellent for healthy dietary management. Let’s make this chewy quail egg jorim, a true rice thief, right now!
Main Ingredients- 4 packs of quail eggs (approx. 160 eggs)
Braising Sauce- 1/2 cup (100ml) soy sauce
- 1/4 cup (50ml) cooking wine (mirin or rice wine)
- 1 Tbsp (15g) sugar
- 4 cloves garlic (sliced or whole)
- 1 chili pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)
- 1/2 cup (100ml) soy sauce
- 1/4 cup (50ml) cooking wine (mirin or rice wine)
- 1 Tbsp (15g) sugar
- 4 cloves garlic (sliced or whole)
- 1 chili pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare 4 packs of fresh quail eggs. Typically, each pack contains about 40 eggs, totaling around 160 eggs.
Step 2
In a pot, bring water to a boil with a pinch of salt (about 1/2 teaspoon). Once boiling, add the quail eggs and boil for approximately 6 minutes. Salt helps the shells peel more easily.
Step 3
Drain the boiled quail eggs and rinse them under cold water to cool them down slightly. To peel the shells easily, place the quail eggs in a sturdy container (like a plastic tub) with a little water, close the lid tightly, and shake vigorously. This allows water to seep between the shell and the egg, making the shells much easier and cleaner to remove. Carefully peel off all the shells.
Step 4
Now it’s time to give the quail eggs a delicious color. Place the peeled quail eggs in a pot and pour in 1/2 cup of soy sauce and 1/4 cup of cooking wine. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the quail eggs to absorb the soy sauce color.
Step 5
Once the quail eggs have absorbed some of the soy sauce color, add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 4 cloves of sliced garlic, 1 chili pepper (chopped or whole, depending on preference for spiciness), and 1 cup (200ml) of water. Stir to combine all ingredients, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer uncovered. Continue to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the quail eggs become chewy and tender. Your delicious quail egg jorim is ready! Enjoy its chewy, sweet, and savory flavor. ^^~ ♡
