Quail Eggs with Tiger Skin

Crispy Tiger Skin Quail Eggs are a mouthwatering delicacy that combines tender quail eggs with a golden, textured exterior and rich, savory flavors. These bite-sized delights are first boiled, then deep-fried to create a unique “tiger skin” crispness before being stir-fried with aromatic ginger, garlic, and umami-packed Pixian bean paste. The addition of dried black fungus adds a delightful chewiness, while a blend of soy sauce, sugar, and scallions enhances the dish with a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Quick to prepare yet impressive in taste and presentation, this recipe is ideal for elevating your appetizers or pairing with steamed rice for a satisfying meal. The crispy exterior and flavorful sauce make every bite irresistible!
