Jorim is a Korean name for a type of cooking which means, “food in a boiled-down soy sauce or other seasonings.” This quail egg side dish is a simple version of JangJoRim, which is made using soy sauce. You can use beef, pork, mushrooms, etc. for jangjorim, and I already posted the beef jangjorim dish before. This tastes similar to meat jangjorim, but it is easier to make and it is good for a meatless diet. The taste combination of the eggs, garlic, peppers, and soy sauce are very delicious. 
Yield: 1 Pint
Short Korean Lesson: *^^*
- BbalGahng (빨강) = Red
- PahRahng (파랑) = Blue
Main Ingredients
- 20 Quail Eggs (2½ Cups Water + ½ tsp Salt)
- 7 Garlic Cloves
- 1 Tbsp Green Hot Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Red Hot Pepper
Broth Ingredients
- ⅔ Cup Water
- 1 Kelp (1 X 1 inch)
- 2-2½ Tbsp Soy Sauce
- ½ Tbsp Sugar
- ½ Tbsp Cooking Wine
Directions
Soak 10 quail eggs in cold water for about 10 minutes. This helps to prevent the eggs from breaking when you boil them later.
In 2½ cups of water, add 20 quail eggs and ½ tsp of sea salt. The salt also helps to prevent the eggs from breaking and gives them a little flavor. Cook on high.
Once it starts to boil, reduce the temperature to medium. If the temperature is too high, it will make the eggs break. Cook for 7 more minutes.
Immediately after they finish boiling, drain the hot water and put the eggs in cold water for several minutes. This helps make removing the shells easier.
Peel off the eggshells.
Prepare 7 garlic cloves and cut 1 Tbsp of each green hot pepper and red hot pepper into ½ inch pieces.
To make the broth, add ⅔ cups of water, 7 garlic cloves, 2-2½ Tbsp of soy sauce, ½ Tbsp of sugar, ½ Tbsp of cooking wine, and 1 (1 inch square) piece of kelp in a pan. Boil on high. Once it starts to boil, cook for 2 minutes, and then remove the kelp.
Add the quail eggs and cook for 7 minutes on medium high.
Add the green and red hot peppers and cook for 3 more minutes.
Woohoo, it is done.
For lunch today, I mixed some of this dish with rice – like making bibimbap. The only thing I needed was kimchi. lol It was yummy. Try it someday.

How long can we keep this in the refrigerater?
hi Jennifer,
I will say.. one or 2 weeks.. thanks
Hi Aeri! I LOVE your website!
If I don’t have kelp, can I leave it out will that change the taste? Or if I have dried anchovies, can I use them instead?
hi Claire,
I will say just skip the kelp..and don’t add dried anchovies..I’m afraid you will get too much anchovy flavor to your dish.. unless you like anchovy flavor..(to be honest, I don’t like strong anchovy flavor to my food..hehe ) thanks
hi,
may I know how long can this be kept refrigerated?
thanks.
hi Natalie,
Maybe.. you can keep for about 2 weeks ?? thanks..
i will be making this for my dinner (tomorrow). it will be a hit, i am very sure!!
I love how these are easily availiable in Korea. You can even ask for seconds. They were exotic and expensive when I lived in NZ as a kid.
Thank you so much for posting this! I never saw such an original banchan when I lived in Korea, but I’ve had soy eggs (Chinese style) before and they were delicious. Thanks again for choosing another vegetarian protein recipe
hi Katharine in Brussels,
oh.. so this can be a vegetarian dish.. ^^ I wasn’t sure.. hehe yep I will post more dishes for vegetarian in the future.. thanks
Hi Aeri, yes it’s vegetarian! It has no meat in it. Some vegs are more strict and do not eat eggs (or dairy foods, or both). I’m very curious now and will go out to the grocer to buy quail eggs and chile peppers!
Just made these…delicious! I could eat all 20 in one meal unfortunately
Since I am lazy, I used quail eggs sold in cans from the Asian store (they are cooked and peeled and kept in water). Good solution for me because I hate peeling quail eggs. Anyway thanks for another great recipe!
hi Caroline,
lol.. yep.. I liked it too.. not sure if I can eat all 20 though.. =P aha.. I’ve never tried already cooked quail eggs ..but sounds easier to use.. hehe
Is it possible to use chicken eggs??
hi Mee Ae,
There is a same dish using normal egg instead of using quail eggs.. for this recipe.. you might need to change the amount of soy sauce and others.. because normal eggs are much bigger than quail eggs.. I have beef and egg jangjorim recipe that I posted sometime ago..
here is a link for you..
http://aeriskitchen.com/2008/10/korean-beef-side-dish-jangjorim/
yum yum, we love quail eggs here!! they are so creamy…than chicken eggs
hi layping,
thanks
haha… try it someday then.. you will love it.
I like the 1st picture better… I think the tablecloth in the 2nd picture is a bit busy and distracts from the yumminess. Just my opinion.
I had no idea you were supposed to add kelp to the broth. I always made this with jang jo rim… and it never tasted quite perfect… I hope the kelp is the magic ingredient
hi Sue,
lol.. that’s exactly what my husband told me… when I asked his opinion about the tableclothes.. I kind of liked..the second one.. because of the color..hehe but I agree with you too..
aha.. well.. I will say.. the combination of everything make the dish taste good.. so try my recipe someday.. ^^
p.s Actually if you cook kelp too much or use too much kelp.. it doesn’t work good for this dish.. but small amount and cook short time work.. ^^
Uhmm…Yummy! I will make this for my oldest daughter, she loves eggs
Both table clothes are fine but the one with the bright colours and hearts made me smile
hi MutterFit,
I love eggs too… hehe
hehe thanks for your opinion ~~~
yep.. make this dish for your daughter.
Looks delicious. Reminds me of Chinese tea eggs.
hi Madeline,
I wondered what tea egg is.. so I researched it..hehe I saw some picture of it.. wow..yes it looks similar.. don’t know about taste though..hehe
i thought this was another meatball recipe! hahaha

hi farleen,
hehe
LOL meatball… I need to post amother meatball recipe for my friend, farleen someday then..
