Tired of struggling to peel quail eggs? Learn this super simple method to peel them quickly and effortlessly, perfect for all your favorite dishes!
Key Ingredients- 1 pack of quail eggs (approx. 20-30 eggs)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 3 tsp of vinegar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Pre-shelled quail eggs can sometimes be a bit pricey. Now, you can easily and quickly shell them yourself at home, ready to be used in your delicious recipes!
Step 2
First, place the quail eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Once the water begins to boil, add a pinch of salt and 3 teaspoons of vinegar. Adding vinegar when boiling eggs (or quail eggs) helps prevent the contents from leaking out if the shells crack from bumping into each other during boiling. If they do crack, the vinegar helps the egg white coagulate quickly, preventing it from dispersing into the water. This results in a much cleaner cooking process.
Step 3
Once the quail eggs are cooked, immediately rinse them under cold running water. This ‘cold shower’ process, where you rapidly cool the hot eggs, helps the shell separate from the egg white, making it much easier to peel later.
Step 4
After draining the quail eggs from the cold water, place them into an airtight container or a sturdy plastic bag. Securely close the lid or seal the bag. Now, hold the container or bag and shake it back and forth gently but firmly. ‘Shake it, shake it!’ Give it a good shake! Be careful not to shake too vigorously, as this could crack the eggs. Adjust your strength as needed – if you’re particularly strong, perhaps shake a little less intensely!
Step 5
After shaking for just a few seconds, you’ll be amazed to see the shells start to break apart. It’s like magic! This simple method for peeling quail eggs is incredibly easy, isn’t it? If you want the shells to come off even more easily, give them a few more shakes. Even if some parts of the shell still seem attached, the next step will make them peel off smoothly.
Step 6
The quail eggs, now partially shelled, will be incredibly easy to peel further. Simply gently rub them between your fingers or tap them lightly, and the shells will ‘slide’ right off, almost as if they’re peeling themselves. Just a gentle nudge to remove any small remaining shell fragments, and they’re ready to go. So simple and convenient!
Step 7
No more need to buy pre-peeled quail eggs! With just about a minute of shaking in a container, your quail eggs will be perfectly prepped and ready for immediate use in any dish. Enjoy making delicious dishes like braised quail eggs, salads, stir-fries, and more, without the hassle!
