Instructions
- 1
Boil the quail eggs for 5 minutes, peel them, and dry them.
5 min05:00 - 2

- 5

3 min03:00 - 6
Mix the grape vinegar with finely chopped yellow onion and serve the kwek kwek with the sauce.
💡 Tip: Do not dip the eggs into the batter without coating them in flour first; the dry surface helps the batter cling and prevents it from peeling off like a shell during frying.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kwek kwek with toothpicks, with optional vinegar-onion dipping sauce and lemon soda instead of cold ayran.
