How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh quail eggs
- Choose quail eggs with beautiful, sturdy shells, clear patterns, no gray color, rough shapes, or blemishes on the shell.
- New quail eggs will have a thin powdery layer on the outside of the shell, and the eggs should be uniform in size.
- You should buy quail eggs that feel solid when held, and when shaken, you should not hear any sound like liquid flowing.
- Do not buy eggs with cracked, soft shells, or leaking, as these are spoiled quail eggs.
How to choose fresh carrots
- Choose medium-sized carrots that are straight, not curved, with a smooth surface, bright skin, small core, and feel heavy in hand. These are fresh carrots with high sweetness.
- Avoid choosing oversized carrots with large cores, misshapen, cracked skin, and bruises. These are carrots that have been stored for a long time, with bland taste and low nutritional value.
How to choose good wood ear mushrooms
- When choosing wood ear mushrooms, you should choose those with large and thick caps, fine hairs, dry, and not leaking water. Avoid choosing the fluffy type as this will become mushy and break when soaked in water, and will not be crispy when cooked.
- When buying, you can hold a few; after releasing your hand, if the mushroom edges quickly bounce back, it means it has low water content, which is a sign of good wood ear mushrooms.
How to choose delicious sticky potatoes
- Avoid choosing tubers with wrinkled skin that feel a bit soft when squeezed. These are old and wilted tubers. Such tubers will not have much nutrition and will not be sweet.
- Do not select tubers with spots or blemishes, infested, black-eyed, or rotten and leaking.
- Fresh tubers with scratched skin should also be avoided because if you buy these and do not eat them immediately, they will quickly rot and affect the healthy tubers.
- Avoid choosing potatoes with many dents; although they are not diseased or spoiled, they are very difficult to peel.

Prepare the ingredients
Soak 2 pieces of wood ear mushrooms in water for about 10 minutes. Then cut and mince finely.
Shred the carrot and then mince it finely.
How to properly soak dry wood ear mushrooms- You only need to soak the dry wood ear mushrooms for about 1 – 2 hours, with a maximum of 3 hours. If soaked too long, the toxins in the mushrooms will increase.
- Absolutely do not soak in hot water as hot water will stimulate the toxins in the mushrooms and cause food poisoning.
- After soaking, just rinse them with cold water.

Boil quail eggs and potatoes
Wash 12 quail eggs thoroughly. Place a pot with 500ml of water on the stove, add the quail eggs and boil for 4 – 6 minutes until cooked.
Wash 2 potatoes, then boil them until they are very soft.
-
Peel quail eggs and mash potatoes
After boiling the quail eggs, immediately place them in a bowl of ice water. Then peel the shells and put them into a bowl.
After boiling, peel the potatoes and place them into a bowl and use a fork to mash them finely.
Quick way to peel quail eggs- After the eggs are cooked, take them out and place them in a bowl of cold ice water; the ice water will cool the eggs quickly and make them easier to peel.
- To make the eggs easier to peel, once they are cool, place the eggs in a plastic container with a little water, close the lid tightly, and shake the container.
- Shaking the eggs in the container will break the shells quickly and make them easier to peel.
-
Mix the filling and shape the eggs
Add finely chopped carrots and mushrooms to the potato bowl, mix until the ingredients are well combined.
Use your hands to shape into bite-sized balls, place 1 quail egg in the center and roll it back into a ball. Continue until all the filling is used up.
-
Fry the quail eggs
Prepare 1 bowl for 100g of crispy flour, 1 bowl for 2 beaten eggs. 1 bowl for 100g of breadcrumbs.
Dip each quail egg ball in order through a layer of crispy flour, a layer of egg, and then a layer of breadcrumbs.
Put a pan on the stove, add 200ml of cooking oil, then add the quail eggs into the hot oil and fry on high heat for about 5 minutes until golden brown, then remove and let drain.
