Sorry for not posting...just moved...tons of stuff happened. For now, korean/Japanese recipes!

Salted Egg (talgyal changjorim)

Ingredients:
10-15 quail eggs
1 table spoon salt
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 table spoon sugar
2/3 cup water
1 table spoon ginger juice

Boil the eggs in salted water till the egg-shell breaks and peel them.
Put soy sauce, sugar, water and ginger juice in a pan and add the peeled eggs. Simmer the eggs on low fire till the liquid is almost evaporated. Turn the fire high and cook the eggs until they are glazed.
Let the eggs cool down.

To make the dish more beautiful, you can put some lettuce leaves on a plate and arrange the eggs nicely on top.

It is also possible to use 5 or 6 chicken eggs, hard-boil them and follow the same procedure. Cut the eggs in half before serving, it makes them easier to eat.
