Cookbook:Quail Egg and Chili Jangjorim

Jangjorim is Korean dish consisting mainly of boiled or braised beef and soy sauce. This version uses quail eggs.

Ingredients

 * Quail eggs
 * 3 cups water
 * 1 cup soy sauce
 * ½ cup sugar
 * ¼ cup refined rice wine
 * 6 cloves garlic
 * 3 slices of fresh ginger
 * 3 dried red chile peppers

Procedure

 * 1) Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the quail eggs, and boil for about 10 minutes.
 * 2) Carefully drain the eggs, and cool in cold water.
 * 3) Peel the cooled eggs.
 * 4) Combine the water, soy sauce, sugar, wine, garlic, and ginger in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
 * 5) Add the eggs to the pot, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
 * 6) Add the peppers, and cook just for 1–2 minutes.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * Adding 1 tablespoon each of salt and vinegar to the boiling water makes the eggs easier to peel.
 * Don't overcook after adding the chili pepper—it will get too soft.
