Quail Eggs

[maryeats]

Today I purchased some raw quail eggs at the market and I'm wondering what to do with them and how long they keep.

In the natto thread, there are many suggestions for rice, natto, and a raw quail's egg broken over the top.

In Korea, they are sometimes hardboiled and marinated in soy sauce then eaten as a side dish.

Any other suggestions?

In Bolivia they serve a hard boiled quail egg in their empanadas. They are just the right size.

Raw quail eggs can be used in a variety of ways, usually just the yolk though. You will see them with certain types of sushi/sashimi and they are also great when added to the noodle dipping sauce.

Hard boiled they can be used anywhere a regular egg would be used and are wonderful for bentos.

here are some recent dishes that you can use raw quail egg in:

squid sashimi with some seasoned soy sauce and nori (laver)

Korean yukhwe, normally made with raw beef my version was made with raw horse meat

I ate them once in a potato salad - whole and peeled, of course. It was delicious, but I imagine tedious to do. I enjoy them as a side dish as well, but dipped in salt and pepper.

I wonder if the Japanese are particularly good at using quail eggs. I can't think of any good uses for quail eggs other than the ones already presented here.

If you hard-boil them, skewer them, and then katsu them, yummy!

How about mini Scotch eggs? Or atop chawan-size bibimbap or loco moco?

At a Japanese tapas place (izakaya) I had a great dish of skewered quail eggs grilled over charcoal.
