Quail Eggs in Tiger Skin

Crispy, flavorful, and packed with umami, these Tiger Skin Quail Eggs are a must-try delicacy! Perfectly boiled quail eggs are deep-fried until golden, creating a unique “tiger skin” texture, then simmered in a rich, aromatic sauce. The dish combines tender quail eggs with earthy black fungus, fragrant ginger and garlic, and the bold depth of Pixian bean paste for a savory-sweet balance. Finished with a sprinkle of fresh scallions, each bite delivers a satisfying crunch and a burst of flavor. Quick to prepare yet impressive, this recipe is ideal for elevating weeknight meals or impressing guests. The secret? Frying the eggs to a crisp before braising them in the savory sauce ensures an irresistible bite every time!
