Skipjack tuna is my absolute favorite fish; no matter how it’s cooked, it’s always delicious and has a unique flavor profile. I’m so happy to be making this dish again—while I made fish floss last time, today I’m trying something different. I intentionally grilled an extra piece of this fish yesterday specifically to make this tauco dish.
Skipjack Tuna and Quail Egg Tauco
Skipjack tuna and quail egg tauco is a type of tauco dish made by fermenting soybeans and then combining them with skipjack tuna and quail eggs. This combination is a favorite of everyone at home because it’s just that delicious. Tauco is indeed a favorite ingredient frequently used in various Indonesian dishes. Its salty, savory, and slightly tangy flavor makes the dish incredibly delicious.
The preparation process for this dish is also very simple; you only need a few ingredients. The seasoning is quite straightforward—chopped onions, chili peppers, and tomatoes—which will make the dish incredibly delicious. Curious about the preparation process? Let’s take a look at the step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
11 quail eggs
15 green chilies
1 tomato
2 tablespoons of tauco
2 cloves of garlic
2 shallots

Add the grilled skipjack tuna, which has been shredded, then add the quail eggs, stir, and cook. Adjust the seasoning; if it’s still bland, you can add a little salt, but don’t add it at the beginning because the tauco is already very salty.

Just the appearance alone is very appetizing; all the flavors come together in a savory, salty, and spicy blend, making this dish incredibly umami.

Now, for those of you who want to substitute quail eggs with chicken eggs, that’s fine too—just adjust it to your own taste so the result is even better. Thank you
