Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing your quail eggs. Place them in a pot with enough water to cover and boil for about 10 minutes until fully cooked. Once boiled, rinse the eggs under cold water. Peeling them while they are still warm makes the process much easier. If you prefer to skip the boiling step, you can conveniently use pre-boiled quail eggs available in stores.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce! In a deep pan or wok, combine 3 Tbsp of ketchup, 2 Tbsp of cooking syrup (or corn syrup), 2 Tbsp of soy sauce, and a tiny pinch of salt. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
Step 3
Once the sauce is boiling vigorously, carefully add the prepared quail eggs to the pan. Gently stir to ensure the eggs are evenly coated with the sauce.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium. Continue to stir and cook the eggs in the sauce until they absorb the flavors and become well-coated. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, stirring frequently. Let them simmer until they develop a glossy, appetizing color.
Step 5
Simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes, allowing the ketchup flavor to penetrate the quail eggs beautifully. This creates the perfect sweet and tangy ketchup-braised quail eggs. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed; be careful not to over-reduce, which can make them too salty.
Step 6
Finally, turn off the heat. Drizzle in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil for a rich, nutty aroma, and sprinkle 1 tsp of toasted sesame seeds on top for garnish. Your delightful ketchup-braised quail eggs are now ready to be enjoyed!
