Iron Eggs is Not So Iron

My friend brought back a souvenir from Taiwan.  The package looks cute and the black balls look like those mochi balls in pearl tea drink.  It turns out that those strange looking black balls are Quail Eggs!  So it's the same deal as Chinese style Onsen-Egg but using Quail Eggs and they probably were boiled in the Chinese 5 Spices soup for years.

The cooked egg white (egg black) texture is very rubbery until you bite to the center part - the egg yolk.

Aren't they look like Mochi balls in Pearl tea?


The black part is super chewy, but the yellow part is delicious
