Quail Eggs, Korean Kimchi and Potato Pancakes

July 9, 2013 by Nancy Lopez-McHugh

Quail Eggs, Korean Kimchi and Eggless and Flourless Potato Pancakes by @SpicieFoodie | #quaileggs #kimchi #potatopancakes #flourless

I’ve always had a thing for unique or what others might call strange flavour and food combinations. To me instead of picturing a strange looking plate of food, I imagine what the flavours will be like when they come together. For the most part my interest has worked out…though there was that pear, mushroom and spinach incident I haven’t recovered from.

When I was trying to think of what dinner should be all that ran through my mind was kimchi, potato pancakes and quail eggs. Kimchi is one of the best things ever created by human beings — I mean it, that stuff is out of this world good! Potatoes are something I’ve preached about many times, and the quail eggs are a new food that I really wanted to try.

In my head I imagined crispy potato cakes, like a hashbrown, topped with super spicy, crunchy kimchi, and a fried runny quail egg on top. I pictured the flavours tasting fantastic and perfect for a light dinner. All went according to plan as I cooked, photographed, and sat down to eat my new spicy creation. (Hubby was served fried rice with fried quail eggs.) Then I happened to mention to hubby how I imagined that if our Cockatiels laid eggs they would be about the same size. That’s when things went wrong, I totally psyched myself out. Even though I really enjoyed the flavours and each bite I had taken, after that mental picture I couldn’t eat any more quail eggs. I know it was completely silly and the eggs would be different but once my brain got rolling it was impossible to take another bite, instead I finished off my potato pancakes and kimchi.

Regardless of my reaction the combination was still a winning one. And so I’m going to share it with you in case you may want to try it. The only recipe you’ll need is for the potato pancakes, which are flourless and eggless too. The other components are quite simple, Korean kimchi and sunny side-up quail eggs.

Author: SpicieFoodie.com & Nancy Lopez-McHugh
Recipe type: Vegetable, Gluten free, egg free, flourless
Cuisine: Fusion
Ingredients
Flourless and Eggless Potato Pancakes:
  • 800 gm or 1.75 lb potatoes (weight is before peeling)
  • sea salt and ground black pepper
  • olive oil or oil of choice
Additional Ingredients:
  • quail eggs
  • Korean kimchi
Instructions
  1. Peel, grate the potatoes and toss with some sea salt. Leave in a strainer for 10 minutes. After ten minutes, squeeze out as much water as possible. Add a little bit more sea salt and some ground black pepper. Heat about 2 tbsp of oil. Once the oil is hot, shape flat potato cakes between your palms, add to pan and cook until browned on both sides.
Assemble:

Notes
When cooking the quail eggs use low, gentle heat. They are very small and cook quite fast, so do not leave unattended.

    WOW! Now that’s a mouthful!! Love the story and can certainly relate. This dish reminds me of what I call a pileup which is any dish that starts with a potato base, then everything else is just piled on. :) Being a kimchi lover, I would definitely bite into this. Congratulations to the winners!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      July 10, 2013 at 16:40

      Love your “pileup” name, MJ! Thanks:)

    Would not have thought to put these three together myself: but am pleased for the suggestion – since sauerkraut very definitely marries with potato, why not :D !

    • Spicie Foodie says

      July 10, 2013 at 16:41

      That’s true, Eha, I love sauerkraut and potatoes together. Thanks:)

    That egg yolk is so perfectly yellow, it almost looks unreal! Beautiful photos!

      I know, those little eggs have such a beautiful yolk. Thanks Laura!

    Couldn’t agree more. Kimchi is really the best!

    Shaba! Anything with SPAM is a good thing for me. The little quail eggs, that the sisters cooked up, were such a cute topping! I was glad that these made an appearance because I grew up eating SPAM, Vienna sausages, and corned beef for brunch. Reminded me of my childhood.

    • Spicie Foodie says

      July 11, 2013 at 16:52

      Thanks Randolph!

    I absolutely adore kimchi and recently found that a egg over easy on top is one of my favorite ways to eat it! I can see why though that you would have felt the need to quit eating yours, that’s why we only have hens and no roosters. Many many eggs with out the chance of them being fertilized!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      July 16, 2013 at 17:21

      Yes, eggs over easy or sunny-side up are great on so many things! Hehe, you know exactly what I meant. Thanks Rochelle:)
