Description

Ingredients

• 15 pieces quail eggs
• 4 cups water (to boil eggs)
• 1½ cup flour
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 1cup annatto water
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 cups cooking oil

Directions

• Pour 4 cups water on a pot. Let boil.
• Add the quail eggs and boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Discard water and let the eggs cool down. Peel the shell off and then set aside.
• Meanwhile, make the batter by combining flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well using a wire whisk.
• Pour annatto water in the mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are well blended.
• Submerge the boiled eggs to the mixture one-by-one.
• Heat the oil in a cooking pot. Once the oil gets hot, scoop a piece of egg from the bowl along with some orange mixture using a spoon. Gently slide the egg and mixture into the hot oil. Let the excess mixture drip on the egg. Deep fry in medium heat until texture of the orange coating gets a bit crispy (around 1 to 2 minutes). Remove from the pot using a kitchen strainer and place in a plate lined with paper towel. Perform this step until all the eggs are cooked.
• Serve with a spicy vinegar dip.
