Sunflower Egg
香肠蛋太阳花


Ingredients:
(makes 8)
  • 4 cocktail sausages
  • 8 quail eggs

How to do it:
  1. Cut the cocktail sausages into halves along their length.
  2. Make slight cuts on the side of each half.
  3. Join the 2 ends of each half with a toothpick to form a ring.
  4. Slightly fry the sausages.
  5. Quickly add a quail egg into each ring.
  6. Fry well.

Note:
Cook with small fire. When the egg white starts to turn white, add water to cook instead. The bottom of the egg white will still be soft, not be burn or too hard for kids to eat.
