Salted quail eggs and vegetable salad

For ovo-vegetarians, a bowl of this salad is substantial enough for a filling meal. For omnivores, enjoy it as a side dish to go with grilled or fried meat or fish. We had the salted quail eggs and vegetables salad with fried tilapia and talakitok (trevally) steaks.

If you’re a foodie who follows news about food trends, you probably know that Southeast Asia is obsessed with salted eggs. Enterprising cooks have discovered how to turn the centuries-old delicacy into dried powder form to coat anything from potato chips to chicharon.

Traditionally made with duck eggs, we recently discovered that there are now salted quail eggs in the market. We bought a tray on trial. Yesterday, Alex used them to make this salted quail eggs and vegetables salad.

There is no cooking involved in this recipe. Just cut the vegetables, shell the salted quail eggs and toss with your favorite salad dressing.

You may cut the vegetables into whatever shape and size you like. We gave each vegetable a specific cut to provide the salad with better volume, and an interesting mix of shapes and colors.

A cook’s diary

Easy tasty risotto for home cooks

My Mac’s dictionary defines risotto as “an Italian dish of rice cooked in stock with other ingredients such as meat and vegetables.” For an Asian, that sounds like throwing everything in a rice cooker until everything is done. But it’s not quite that simple.

Food bowls: Asian versus non-Asian

Food bowls are traditionally Asian. Bibimbap, donburi, gaifan, bun cha — all of which are about harmony of ingredients. Western food bowls are entirely something else.

How to cook rice

Does rice need to be rinsed? Is soaking required? How much water should the rice cook in? The answers to all these and more in this guide to cooking rice, Asian-style.
