Main Ingredients- 1kg peeled quail eggs (using pre-peeled ones saves time and effort!)
- 1 piece dried kelp (about 10x10cm size)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
When making quail egg soy braise, using pre-peeled quail eggs can significantly save you time and effort. If you frequently prepare side dishes, utilizing pre-prepared ingredients can be much more efficient. You can also reduce the cost by taking advantage of sales at supermarkets or online stores.
Step 2
Rinse the peeled quail eggs thoroughly several times under cold running water. This removes any surface impurities and ensures the eggs are cooked hygienically.
Step 3
Pour 1 cup of soy sauce (approximately 200ml, using a standard paper cup) into a pot.
Step 4
Add 1.5 cups of water (approximately 300ml, using a standard paper cup) to the pot. If you prefer a milder flavor for your quail egg soy braise, you can reduce the amount of soy sauce and increase the amount of water accordingly. Adjusting the sauce concentration to your personal preference is key.
Step 5
Add 3 tablespoons of sugar (about 45g) to sweeten the braise.
Step 6
Stir in 2 tablespoons of minced garlic (about 30g) to add a garlic aroma.
Step 7
Finally, add 1 piece of dried kelp for an umami boost and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn off the heat and remove the kelp. Discard the kelp or set it aside; leaving it in for too long can impart a bitter taste.
Step 8
After turning off the heat, allow the braising liquid to cool down slightly. Once it has cooled a bit, stir in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil (about 15ml) for a smooth finish. The prepared quail egg soy braise can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The flavors will deepen and become even more delicious after about a day!
Step 9
Quail egg soy braise is incredibly easy and simple to make, making it a perfect side dish. It’s so delicious that you’ll feel it’s a waste to buy it from a banchan store! Following this recipe precisely, anyone can create a wonderful quail egg soy braise. Make it quickly and enjoy it with your whole family!
