Brilio.net - Quail eggs are usually eaten as a variety of side dishes for everyday use. This food ingredient is often cooked with savory spicy chili sauce, soup, or a mixture of appetizing stir-fried vegetables. With its small shape, quail eggs are also easy to eat and taste delicious. Unfortunately, its mini size and thin skin make these eggs more susceptible to heat stress during the boiling process.
If not carefully managed, sudden temperature changes can cause the egg shell to crack. This causes the contents of the egg to leak, so that the nutrients contained in it can be reduced. This problem is often a challenge for anyone who wants to enjoy quail eggs with a perfect texture without losing their taste and nutritional benefits.
If you often experience such problems, don't worry, because there is a trick that can be done to overcome it. As once shared by Instagram user @ummubalqishaura through one of her uploaded videos. In her video, the account owner admitted that this special trick when boiling quail eggs makes the results smoother and doesn't crack.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @ummubalqishaura on Friday (16/8), there is one kitchen ingredient that is used as an additional ingredient when boiling quail eggs, namely vinegar. Well, this vinegar not only makes quail eggs not crack, but also the shells are easy to peel after boiling.

How to use it, simply put the quail eggs in a pan filled with water, then add 2 tablespoons of vinegar to it. Once done, boil the eggs as usual until they are completely cooked. According to Instagram user @ummubalqishaura, the addition of vinegar has several functions.
First, to speed up the coagulation or hardening of the egg white. When there is a small crack in the shell, this vinegar will make the egg white harden quickly. This prevents the egg white from leaking out, so the quail egg will remain intact.

In addition, vinegar can also make peeling easier because this kitchen ingredient can soften the membrane between the shell and the egg white. Well, when the membrane is softer, the egg shell will be easy to peel. That way, the results of the boiled quail eggs will be smoother.
Since it was uploaded on July 19, the video about the quail egg boiling trick has been watched more than 2 million times. It is no wonder that the upload has been flooded with comments from netizens. Most of these Instagram users admitted that they were interested in trying the trick right away.
