Tokneneng

Tokneneng, a famous Filipino street food, similar to Kwek-kwek. Tokneneng and kwek-kwek both have same appearance: an orange and soft-looking ball. The difference between the two lies in the egg that is used. Tokneneng uses chicken or duck egg, while kwek-kwek uses quail egg or "pugo". Tokneneng are boiled chicken eggs that are dipped in a reddish batter and deep-fried until the batter becomes crispy. Don’t expect too much on the taste because it is basically boiled egg. What you need to do though is dip it in a rich sauce for additional flavor.

Here are the pictures I took when I was making Tokneneng here at home. :)

1 dozen peeled Hard boiled eggs (Chicken eggs or Quail eggs)
1 cup flour
1/2 cup water
few drops of food coloring (orange)

salt and pepper to taste
cooking oil

1. Put the eggs in a clean plastic bag/zip lock with 1/4 cup flour.
2. Shake them until eggs are evenly coated.
3. Mix all remaining ingredients except cooking oil.
4. Use a wire whisk or fork, mix it to a smooth batter.
5. Dump those eggs to the batter.
6. Put enough cooking for deep frying in a shallow pan. Heat it.
7. Spoon out those eggs from the batter and chuck it in the hot cooking oil.
8. Wait till it cooks. About a minute or so until the coating is crispy.
9. Serve with sweet gravy sauce or vinegar.
