Main Ingredients
- 270g peeled quail eggs (1 package)
Braising Sauce
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 100ml water (approx. 1 paper cup)
- 1.5 Tbsp brown sugar (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (like Mirin)
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 100ml water (approx. 1 paper cup)
- 1.5 Tbsp brown sugar (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (like Mirin)
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the peeled quail eggs. Using pre-peeled quail eggs from the store will make the process much more convenient.
Step 2
Pour the peeled quail eggs into a sieve and rinse them lightly under running water to remove any impurities. This step helps ensure a clean flavor in the final braised dish.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the braising sauce. In a wide pan or pot, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 100ml of water (about 1 paper cup), 1.5 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cooking wine.
Step 4
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring with a spatula or spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved. It’s important to stir continuously to prevent the sauce from burning.
Step 5
Once the sugar has dissolved and the sauce begins to simmer, add the prepared peeled quail eggs to the pan.
Step 6
Now, adjust the heat to medium and let the eggs braise until they are well-coated with the sauce and the liquid has reduced by about half. This allows the flavors to penetrate the eggs.
Step 7
As the sauce thickens, gently stir the quail eggs occasionally with your spatula to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Spoon the sauce over the eggs as they cook; this ensures even coating and a glossy finish.
Step 8
When the sauce reaches your desired consistency, turn off the heat. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds over the top and give it a quick stir. Your delicious quail egg soy braise is now complete! Let it cool before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
