Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Quail Eggs 10 pcs
- Onion 1/4 (60g)
- Thinly Sliced Pork 200g
- Potato Starch (for dusting)
- Macaroni 50g
- Mixed Cheese 50g
- Sliced Cheddar Cheese 1 slice
- Dried Parsley (for garnish)
Seasonings
- [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
- [A] Sugar 1/4 tsp
- [A] Salt and Pepper 1/4 tsp
- [B] Unsalted Tomato Juice 200ml
- [B] Granulated Consommé 2 tsp
- [B] Grated Garlic 1 tsp
- [B] Sugar 1 tsp
- [B] Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Steps
- In a small pot, add 10 quail eggs and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, stir gently for 1 minute, then continue to boil for 3 minutes.
- Drain the boiled quail eggs in a colander and rinse with cold water to cool. Let them cool down.
- Finely chop 1/4 onion (60g).
- Place the cooled quail eggs in a lidded container. Gently shake the container to crack the shells without crushing the eggs. [Key Tip!] Peeling them while submerged in water makes it much easier.
- Season 200g of thinly sliced pork with 1 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), 1/4 tsp Sugar, and 1/4 tsp Salt and Pepper. Knead well.
- Wrap the seasoned pork slices around the quail eggs, forming them into balls.
- Once the pork is wrapped, dust the surface with Potato Starch.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and arrange the dusted pork meatballs in the pan.
- Medium heat. Turn occasionally to brown evenly on all sides.
- Once browned, remove the pork meatballs from the pan.
- In the same frying pan, add the chopped onion and sauté until softened.
- Add 200ml Unsalted Tomato Juice and 100ml water.
- Add 1 tsp Grated Garlic, 2 tsp Granulated Consommé, and 1 tsp Sugar. Bring to a boil.
- Once simmering, add 50g Penne. Stir briefly to combine, cover with a lid, and simmer over medium-low heat for the specified cooking time.
- When there are 2 minutes left of the pasta cooking time, return the browned pork meatballs to the pan. Simmer the meatballs while the pasta finishes cooking.
- Once the penne is cooked and most of the liquid has evaporated, taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
- Transfer the cooked ingredients into an oven-safe dish or gratin dish.
- Sprinkle 50g Mixed Cheese over the ingredients.
- Broil in a grill or oven until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- Once browned, sprinkle with Dried Parsley.
- For a festive touch, add the star-shaped sliced cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt from the residual heat before serving.
