Quail Eggs with Salt and Spices

Ingredients

Toasted Cumin Seeds - 2 teaspoons
Salt - 4.4 oz
Quail Egg - 48 pieces
Coarse Salt - 3 teaspoons
Chinese Five Spice - 1½ teaspoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Toast the cumin seeds in a skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes. Let cool slightly, transfer to a coffee grinder, and grind to a powder.

Step 2

Place half of the eggs in a large pot of water, bring to a boil, and cook for 1.5 minutes. Transfer from the pot to cold water. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Peel when cool (it's easier to do this under cold running water).

Step 3

Divide the regular salt into 3 small bowls. In one, add the Chinese five spice powder, in another, add the coarse salt, and in the third, add the cumin.
