Ingredients- 2 packs Quail Eggs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vinegar
- Airtight container (spacious)
- Cold water (approx. 1/2 cup)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
You’ll never want to peel quail eggs the old way again! Get ready for a magical method that will set you free from the tedious task of peeling.
Step 2
Carefully place both packs of quail eggs into a pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt; this helps with flavor and aids in separating the shell later.
Step 3
To further assist in easy shell removal, add 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and simmer for exactly 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, as this can cause the eggs to burst.
Step 4
Immediately after boiling, transfer the quail eggs to a bowl of cold water. Let them cool down for about 2 minutes, changing the water once if needed. This ‘cold shock’ helps the membrane to contract and detach from the shell, making peeling much easier.
Step 5
Now, let’s get ready to peel! Transfer the cooled quail eggs into a spacious airtight container. Add about half a cup of cold water to the container.
Step 6
Close the lid tightly and shake the container vigorously back and forth for about 10-20 seconds. Imagine you’re shaking a cocktail! You’ll be amazed as the shells start to crack and peel off on their own.
Step 7
Open the container and you’ll see that most of the shells have already come off. Gently rub away any remaining small pieces of shell with your fingers. It’s that simple and quick!
Step 8
These perfectly peeled quail eggs can be stored in the refrigerator and are perfect for side dishes, stews, or braised preparations. Enjoy hassle-free quail egg preparation from now on!
