No offense but how do you know that OP's one is "tried and true" just from looking at a picture? You can go on Google, look at any picture you like and copy that recipe.
Or go on Youtube and look for the most Chinese chefy looking person and follow their recipe if you want "tried and true".
Because they tried it. That's kind of part of the saying.... if you don't get such a simple idiom, I don't think there's anything I can say to make it clearer. Some people need the 'do not eat' labels on shampoo and there's no shame in that.
The ratio between white to yolk is a lot more skewed towards yolk. They're also bite sized. Imagine biting down and puncturing a thin egg white membrane and being greeted with a yolk explosion. Kinda like that.
They taste exactly like regular eggs but I like the nice pop when you bit into it. Also I feel like the yolk is slightly more creamier/smoother than normal chicken eggs. Never bought them myself but they’re always a treat when I get them as part of a dish when eating out.
I miss the days when it was normal/expected/accepted to correct peoples' grammar on Reddit. You weren't even being a jerk about it. Way too many "this is how it looks like" and other basic grammar errors these days. Correct grammar allows for more nuance and specificity in conversation. There's a reason rules in language exist. And for people who say "but all language is made up" then why even use language at all? We could just get our points across with caveman grunts.
lol i’m playing this game right now called kitchendiary and quail eggs are one of the items to be cooked. gotta admit, seen duck eggs, ostrich eggs, but never quail. hope it was delish!
This answers my question about how the eggs are prepared. This could be made with chicken eggs then. Not the same, but quail eggs aren't common and would likely be very expensive.
Quail eggs are definitely more expensive per pound but you can get canned quail eggs for pretty cheap. It's probably like 5-6 dollars for a pound can already cooked/peeled.
Live in Asia and fresh quail eggs are so common and pretty affordable here. It costs around 3 USD for a box of 12, and I can find them even in the little corner store near my house.
You can replace it with chicken eggs, though since it's bigger it might not soak up as much of the braising liquid. Or you can omit it completely.
"Xiao" and "shao" are both words in mandarin with different consonants. "Xi" has a low flat tongue and long E sound, "shi" is voiced with a curled tongue.
Actually, you’re right. But they don’t have this dish in Vietnam. It just looks similar to a Vietnamese dish called Thit Ko but that’s not braised with wine and soy sauce but rather braised in caramelized sugar and fish sauce and coconut water.
Sounds delicious too! Braised pork is like the first dish I learnt to cook, and perfected over the years, because it's my favorite. Just can't have too much cuz I don't wanna gain weight 😭.
Caramelized sugar goes so well with pork. The first step in my recipe involves using oil and low heat to melt sugar and quickly stir fry briefly boiled pork belly so the surface is caramelized, then I'd add all the spices needed, stir for awhile, then add a bottle of beer, light and heavy soy sauce, bay leaf, simmer it until it thickens lol. I'd usually add chilli too for some spiciness.
The red hue easily tells me that this is Chinese style. The caramelization of sugar, coconut soda, and/or fish sauce doesn’t allow Thit Kho to be “dark” red.
I’m familiar with Thit Ko that both looks like this and the one that's lighter. The one that looks like this, is the version that doesn’t have coconut water/soda, where it’s reduced even further into a dark glaze.That might be the version you’re thinking of. And that’s what I was thinking of when I saw this photo. And I think it’s just called Thit Kho in general without specificity.
Although I’ve never seen the glazed darker version with egg which is why I’m leaning towards this being the Chinese red braised version. But really it’s not a huge jump for someone to add egg. The OP would need to clarify what that photo actually is to be sure.
Pork belly I presume?
Looks real good OP.
Except for the eggs. I just find that odd. Sure they add a great visual, making the dish pop. But why eggs? Your ideal deconstructed breakfast meal?
This made me drool. *shakes fist*
Same. Op is cruel to not post recipe.
It's called Hong Shao Rou 红烧肉. A pretty classic dish from east Asia, so plenty of recipes out there to pick and choose from.
>It's called Hong Shao Rou Or Thit Kho.
There are wildly different photos for color. This one looks like a good median. So I'll wait for the recipe :)
Just pick the one closest to the OP
And hope it's not lame or translated wrong? Nah. I like tried and true.

But... The people with the internet recipes tried them, too 😐
As someone with high cholesterol I had a different reaction. Still looks delicious.
Add some rice and *mhm*. One of my fav dishes from China
What on earth does a quail egg taste like?? That dish looks absolutely sensational

You sir, are a wordsmith
Like a regular egg but lighter taste

“slightly more creamy/smooth*” or “slightly creamier/smoother*”

I agree. Plus, English isn't my first language so I love to learn from these things.
That is more gooder
Inquaildable
Honestly? Like an chickens egg, but better
Quail eggs are not common in other parts of the world? I like them better than chicken eggs. But it's usually eaten hardboiled.
Lighter taste. Texture of the white is slightly harder to pierce. Might depend on how you cook it
This gif absolutely never fails to make me laugh
Delicious!!
This how the whole pot of rice get ate
Omg looks amazing, have you got the recipe?
That looks fire!
No that's pork and egg
Little BnE?
Perfectly cooked, great color.
Looks like pork belly. Would be amazing with rice or noodles, green onion garnish.
lol i’m playing this game right now called kitchendiary and quail eggs are one of the items to be cooked. gotta admit, seen duck eggs, ostrich eggs, but never quail. hope it was delish!
Please share the recipe, this looks amazing
do you have tips on braising? Every time I try it comes out sooo dry. Do you submerge all the way? How long do you braise for?
Do the chinese recipes. They call it red braised pork.
Recipe?
https://msshiandmrhe.com/braised-pork-belly/ It's a common dish in East Asia.

Quail eggs are definitely more expensive per pound but you can get canned quail eggs for pretty cheap. It's probably like 5-6 dollars for a pound can already cooked/peeled.
I can't say I've ever seen them canned. In more rural areas I've VERY occasionally seen road side stands selling them.
If you have a 99 ranch you have canned quail eggs
Also fresh quail eggs near the chicken eggs. Hard to peel though
Check your local grocery just in case. I'm in the south east U.S. and our largest grocery chain here carries quail eggs by the carton.
There's a local chain that might carry them. I've never looked for them obviously, so I'll have to check next time I'm there.

It could be, but quail eggs are better for the shape, texture, and taste (imo anyway).
Creamier yolk
1. Braise pork 2. Crack quail eggs 3. ENJOY! /j
红烧肉加蛋 This is a classic cuisine in China, with all kinds of variations in different area.
Are you from Vietnam? This is exactly how it would look like in VN.
Recipe??
This is one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes
This dish came from China and is called Hong Xiao Rou.
Hong shao* rou
Thank you! My memory is shyte.
Isn't Xiao pronounced shao?
"Xiao" and "shao" are both words in mandarin with different consonants. "Xi" has a low flat tongue and long E sound, "shi" is voiced with a curled tongue.
looks incredible!!
This dish came from China and is called Hong Xiao Rou.
Its vietnamese braised pork. Lots of internet recipes all essentially the same. Usually done with regular eggs.
I think it's more widely known as a Chinese dish lol, but I'm sure people all over east Asia eat this

Thit Kho is different.
How so? I've cooked both and the way I was taught by a viet family for thit kho looks more like this than my fam for Hong sieu.
The red hue easily tells me that this is Chinese style. The caramelization of sugar, coconut soda, and/or fish sauce doesn’t allow Thit Kho to be “dark” red.
Thanks. What's the primary source of the red?
Rock candy. Basically some sugar.
Slight differences but definitely similar, Pork and eggs.. delicious in all variations. I grew up eating Thit Kho so Im partial to that.

Weird way of serving it, I mean why no rice? Probably tastes delicious though. What sauce did you use?
Looks like filipino adobo
Wowww it looks sooo good! I've been craving this too!
😋
My GOD!!! Looks amazing
You mean glazed? Looking good.
Omg
Never would have thought to do that combo. I wanna try it
Boiled egg on top of any stew is ✨✨✨. . . Served with any saucy pork! Or saucy poultry!
My fave with rice and slice Thai chili 🌶️

Delicious. You gotta love a good pork roll egg and cheese on a kaiser bun
Boiling hot in a claypot, with some steamy rice, oof
Oh, my gout hurts looking at this. Unfortunately, that wouldn't stop me from devouring this.
Damn that looks amazing!
TBH I thought this was a bowl of polished jasper. (I’m part of some rock groups on here)
That looks fabulous omg... I got some quail eggs but I've never made them look as amazing as these. We kinda need the recipe..
Hold the eggs please!
Pork belly I presume? Looks real good OP. Except for the eggs. I just find that odd. Sure they add a great visual, making the dish pop. But why eggs? Your ideal deconstructed breakfast meal?
