Kwek-kwek Recipe
INGREDIENTS
20 pcs. Quail eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon orange food color or atsuete powder
more cornstarch for coating

PROCEDURE

1. Boil the eggs for about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the water and let it cool completely. Peel them and set aside while making the coating.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all purpose flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Add water and food coloring. Mix until well-combined.

3. Prepare for deep-frying. Heat some oil in a deep pan or pot.

4. Toss the peeled quail eggs in cornstarch. Make sure that they are fully coated. Then, dip the eggs in the orange mixture. Coat evenly. Using a spoon, scoop it out of the mixture and put straight to the hot oil. Do the same thing to the other eggs.

5. Deep-fry the coated eggs until crunchy and light brown. Flip if needed to cook evenly. Once cooked, remove from pan and put in a strainer or wire rack to drip excess oil.
