  • Fried Boiled Eggs! A classic throughout Asia - in this video we'll show you how to fry them up in the Chinese style, along with two options of how to serve them up with some saucy goodness: Red Braised Tiger Skin Eggs, and Sichuan Homestyle-Flavor Tiger Skin Eggs.
    Recipe is also over here on /r/CasualChina if you prefer:
    / recipe_tiger_skin_eggs...
    HOW (WE) BOIL & PREP EGGS
    1. Place six eggs in cool water, then over a high flame bring everything up to a boil. Swap the flame to medium high so that it's not quite as aggressive, then boil for 6.5 minutes.
    2. Remove, place in a bowl of cold water. No need for ice bath - place under running water, swap the water a couple times til it's no longer hot.
    3. Peel & thoroughly dry the eggs.
    5. Make shallow cuts down the egg lengthwise.
    HOW TO FRY THE EGGS
    Round bottomed woks have the advantage of using less oil than a saucepan, but feel free to figure out what works in your kitchen - just do not use stainless steel for this.
    * For a wok: first longyau and add in 3-4 tbsp of oil. Medium high flame, once it's hot enough where bubbles can form around a pair of chopsticks (150-160C), add in the eggs. Fry for 90 seconds on one side, 90 seconds on the other, then twist them around to get any white spots that were missed (~2 minutes more).
    * For a non-stick saucepan: add in ~1 inch of oil. Medium high flame, once it's hot enough to bubble (150-160C), add in the eggs. Fry for two minutes on each side.
    Note that our saucepan we used in the video is very small, 7cm (~6.5 inches).
    RED BRAISED TIGER SKIN EGGS, INGREDIENTS
    So we had ambitions to make this first recipe here 'western supermarket friendly', which for a homestyle Chinese red braise you can basically do... the peppercorns and the dark soy can be skipped in a pinch, though both would obviously be recommended. The Shaoxing wine can also be skipped, or subbed with sherry, sake, or bourbon.
    * Fried boiled eggs, 6
    * Aromatics: 1/2 inch ginger, 1 large clove garlic
    * Spices: 1/8 cinnamon/cassia stick (桂皮), 1 star anise (八角), 1 dried bay leaf (香叶), 1 whole clove (丁香), 1/4 tsp Sichuan peppercorns (花椒)
    * Liaojiu, a.k.a. Shaoxing wine (料酒/绍酒). Or your sub of choice
    * Water, 1 cup
    * Light soy sauce (生抽), 2 tbsp
    * Dark soy sauce (老抽), 1/2 tsp
    * Seasoning: 2 tsp sugar, 1/4 tsp salt
    * Slurry of 2 tsp cornstarch (生粉) mixed with equal amount of water
    * To finish: 1/8 tsp MSG (味精), 1 tsp toasted sesame oil (麻油), bit of chopped scallion
    PROCESS, RED BRAISED TIGER SKIN EGGS
    1. Small pot, medium flame, swirl in ~1tbsp of oil and fry the ginger & garlic til fragrant, ~30 seconds.
    2. Add the spices, fry ~15 seconds. Add in the eggs, then swirl in the wine. Quick mix.
    3. Add in the water, soy sauces, and seasoning. Bring to a boil, swap the flame down to medium. Keep at a light boil, uncovered.
    4. Flip the eggs a few times through the cooking process. Let it cook for ~12 minutes, or til the liquid's reduced by about one third.
    5. Add the MSG and the slurry. Let it thicken, ~30 seconds.
    6. Heat off, drizzle in the sesame oil & add the scallions.
    INGREDIENTS, HOMESTYLE TIGER SKIN EGGS
    * Fried boiled eggs, 6
    * Aromatics: 1 inch ginger, 2 cloves garlic. Cut into slices.
    * Chili bean paste, Pixian Doubanjiang (郫县豆瓣酱), 1 tbsp. www.amazon.com/Cheng-Sichuan-...
    * Liaojiu, a.k.a. Shaoxing wine (料酒/绍酒), 1 tbsp
    * Water, 1/2 cup
    * Seasoning: 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce (生抽), 1/2 tsp sugar, 1/8 tsp salt
    * Green garlic (蒜苗) or scallion, 1 sprig
    * Red & green mild chilis, 1/2 each (or bell peppers). Cut into diamonds.
    * Slurry of 1/2 tsp cornstarch with a bit of water
    * To finish: 1/8 tsp MSG (味精), 1/8 white pepper (白胡椒粉), 1 tsp toasted sesame oil (麻油)
    PROCESS, HOMESTYLE TIGER SKIN EGGS
    1. Longyau with ~1.5 tbsp of oil, and over a low flame fry the Pixiang Doubanjiang. ~3 minutes, until it stains the oil.
    2. Swap the flame to medium high. Add the aromatics, fry for ~30 seconds, swirl in the wine.
    3. Add the eggs. Mix to coat, then add the water and the seasoning. Boil it all together over a high flame.
    4. Once the liquid's reduced by 1/2, add the green garlic and the chilis. Mix, then add the pepper and the MSG, mix again.
    5. Thicken with the slurry, heat off, drizzle in the sesame oil.

    Hey guys, a few notes:
    1. Over on the Patreon, someone made the very good point that it seemed to be a bit of a tease going through this whole song and dance discussing yolk texture and not actually... showing the inside of a Tiger Skin egg. Definitely an oversight on my part. Here's what it looks like - though again, I know it ain't exactly Instagram-worthy: i.imgur.com/ayFTrBd.jpg
    2. In my opinion though, the way to eat Tiger Skin Eggs is to plop the whole thing in your mouth. I uh... have a big mouth though (in all the senses of the word), so another cool approach is to do the same thing with quail eggs.
    3. Do not use a stick (stainless steel) saucepan for this. I know I only briefly said "... in a non-stick saucepan ..." in the video, when perhaps I should've been more emphatic. Use non-stick, cast iron, or carbon steel. Stainless steel will give you a mess. Made the mistake before myself!
    4. Oh, also... peel your eggs. I drastically shortening our 'egg boiling' discussion because I figured that y'all probably knew how to boil an egg, but I know that I didn't provide a visual at least for the peeling, which was another oversight. Sorry about that.
    5. If you're looking to get creative with your eggs, cooking/simmering them for ~4-15 minutes seems about right in my personal experience. Shorter than that, and the fried skin starts to be a touch on the 'tough' side; longer, and the egg begins to get slightly overcooked.
    6. Regarding popping - yes, these pop a bit. It's not the scariest thing ever (deep frying blanched chicken feet is the scariest thing lol), but it's a variable to know going into it. Steph likes using a lid as a 'shield' when frying these, which can be a nice approach.
    7. We did try to make a 'jammy' version of this using 5-6 minute eggs. The end result? The eggs sagged and leaked when frying, and even the still-intact ones didn't really seem to have any superior of a texture to our taste buds. Someone over on the Patreon popped the eggs in the freezer for 15 minutes and (IIRC) did a 7 minute egg from a hot start (with an ice bath after), to some success - though it was only one egg. If jamminess is non-negotiable for you though, that's one route you could potentially go :)

      @ChineseCookingDemystified  Před 3 lety +51

      @@adedow1333 Haha nah that's the range that I meant :) I based it off the recipes we did here, where in the Sichuan homestyle recipe we cooked it for about ~4 minutes more in all, which felt like a pretty good low end. The red-braised ones (together with my messing around with them in a chili) were 10-15 minutes, and came out great.
      There was one time during testing where I was playing around with leftovers, tossed them in a braise for 45 minutes and - while fine - they felt a little on the overcooked side to me.

I use a dipping sauce of two parts Golden Mountain Seasoning sauce to one part water, then I do the Cambodian technique of adding thin slices garlic with thin sliced Thai dragon chilies.

    The soft boiled egg trend makes me really mad, I don't have anything against people who like runny yolks, but a lot of people act like that's the "right way" to cook eggs, and hard yolks are bad and a waste of eggs. I think that's mostly because when you overcook an egg the yolk develops a dark ring(sulphur ring) around it, and also gets pale and tasteless, but you can have a hard boiled egg that doesn't have the sulphur ring and that's still soft and tasty, I dislike runny yolks so i always make hard boiled eggs, i cook them for about 11 minutes and they look beautiful and don't taste or smell like raw egg like runny yolks often do

    In the Philippines, we have a street food that we call "Kwek-kwek". It is a fried boiled egg, same with that method but we first coat it with a flour batter colored with a bright orange food coloring. We usually dip it with sweet sauce especially made for street foods. Sometimes with add vinegar to that specialty sauce.

      This is just random guessing but a lot of American fried foods are batter fried where the host is to get a thick layer of breading and fat/grease over whatever is underneath. The frying here is more akin to tempura where the goal is to get the skin crispy. Plus I don't think generally people would think to braise after they crisped.

    Just a tip for anyone like myself. At 4:38 before adding the thickening agent, take out the eggs so you can easily remove the whole spices with a small sieve spoon. Put the eggs back in and continue.
    Accidently biting into a whole spice that is in a sauce (or curry or anything) is the easiest way to ruin a meal for me.
