WHAT ARE QUAIL EGGS?

Quail eggs or itlog ng pugo is a very small type of egg produced by the Japanese quails or simply quails. These quails are small birds which are cultivated in the country specifically for their eggs. The eggs of a quail or “itlog ng pugo” is really small, with both white and black shell, similar to the color of a cow.

I had loved quail eggs for my entire life. Since we travel a lot as a kid, I first knew about quail eggs when it was offered to me in a bus ride. Apparently, boiled quail eggs is one of the famous bus snacks in our country. They usually come in 4 to 5 pieces with a small plastic with salt. At first, I thought that these were baby chicken eggs and that they will still grow into the regular chicken egg we know. I used to store one of my quail egg at home, waiting for it to grow. Whenever I remember that moment, I really burst into laughter!! HAHA

SIPO EGGS

Just like me, my niece first knew about quail eggs on a bus. She loved it so much that she told me that quail eggs are the eggs for kids while chicken eggs are for adults. She was really funny and that bus ride was so happy just because of her new love for quail eggs.

After a few weeks, my niece started to ask us to travel since she wants these boiled quail eggs. She first thought that you can only have quail eggs from the bus vendors! Since kids are now allowed in the supermarket, I had my niece with me and we bought some quail eggs. I gathered some veggies as sipo eggs would make her quail eggs experience much much better.

As we got home, she was so surprised that the quail eggs are not boiled, just like what she had at the bus. I explained to her that we need to boil them first before eating. That experience really made her sad so she just simply decided to sleep. (HAHA)

I am preparing the sipo eggs as she sleep so she has something special to wake up to for later. What I love about sipo eggs is that the dish is very colorful and with a lot of flavors and textures to it. Best dish to serve if you want to brighten one’s mood!

And just as I expected, my niece twinkles her eyes as she saw the sipo eggs I made. She gathered a lot of eggs and vegetables and loved the dish so much. What I love most about this dish is that it is almost similar to chopseuy but with more interesting ingredients. Imagine adding jicama in this type of dish?

HOW TO MAKE SIPO EGGS

Sipo eggs has a lot of ingredients but do not worry to much as this dish is super duper easy to make.

Start by boiling your quail eggs. These eggs are much smaller than chicken so they will cook faster. I boiled mine around 5 to 7 minutes. You can always do a taste test just to be sure.

In a sipo dish, we are going to have different types of meat and veggies. Start by sauteing the meat. I used chicken liver, gizzard, pork, and shrimps. Just remember to cook the shrimps last since they are very quick to cook and very prone to overcooking.

For the veggies, our goal is to have a variety of colors. In this recipe, I used celery, carrots, green peas and jicama (singkamas). These are the usual veggies added in sipo eggs but you can add other veggies that you like. We also aim to have them in similar sizes, so slice them accordingly. Add them to the pan and cook.

The sauce base would be the pork broth. You can simply dissolve pork broth cube in water for instant pork broth. Peel your boiled quail eggs and add them to the pan. We want a thick sauce for our sipo eggs, so add some slurry and stir until you achieve the desired consistency. The dish is ready when all ingredients are nicely cooked and are coated with the sauce.

I usually eat my sipo eggs as an appetizer or a side dish. Sipo eggs also pairs best with some hot steaming rice!
