Ingredients
.12. Season with chicken essence and serve.Tips:
The smooth surface of the tofu and quail eggs is not good for flavor absorption or easy handling, so frying makes them rougher and better at absorbing the broth, enhancing taste and making it easier to pick up with a fork.

The tofu should be fried until slightly golden but firm. Overcooking can make it tough and affect texture.
Frying quail eggs may cause bubbling and splattering due to their porous nature; use low heat and minimal oil, stir frequently to prevent injury.
Fry the tofu blocks until the surface turns golden yellow and slightly set, as leaving them for too long can cause the tofu to become old and hard, affecting the texture.
When frying quail eggs, the surface is prone to bubble and splatter oil, so it's best to do this at a low temperature with little oil to avoid hurting yourself.
