Have you had Sipo Eggs? If you have not, then now is the best time to know more about Sipo Eggs and learn how to cook it at the comfort of your own home. Sipo Egg is a Filipino quail egg and shrimp recipe that originated in Pampanga. This dish has a rich thick sauce and is also composed of vegetables such as carrots and green peas.
Sipo Eggs is served during special occasions. This is something that can be completed quickly and easily. This Sipo Egg Recipe that we have for you is one of the simple and quick variations. You can make this version more festive by adding minced ham or luncheon meat.
In the video, you will hear me saying that I am using fresh carrots for this recipe. It takes quite a while to peel and chop the carrots — so if you are pressed for time, you can use frozen mixed vegetables. You will save time and have more veggies than what we have in this recipe, which I think is more exciting.
I recommend using fresh quail eggs over the quail eggs in cans. It is obvious that fresh eggs tastes better and is more pleasant to eat. When boiling quail eggs, first boil the water then add the eggs piece by piece. Let it boil for 3 ½ minutes. Turn the heat off and leave the eggs in the warm water until the temperature cools down a bit. Easy, isn’t it?
Now its your turn to try this rich Sipo Eggs Recipe. Enjoy!

I’ve been borrowing a lot of your recipe’s for a few years now and this particular recipe popped up on my facebook page. When I was young this was my favorite dish… I never knew what it was called, but I would describe it to my mom and she would cook it for me. My mother passed away in 2008 and I turned 30 today (9/11). This just brought back tons of memories and tears. Thanks for sharing your recipes online!

I just bought a pack of kropek in Toronto here similar to the foto in your blog and found it similar in taste and texcture to Indonesian “krupuik gendar” which is made of rice. The term Krupuk in Bahasa Indonesia is a generic term and therre many kinds or krupuk like krupuk udang (= prawn), krupuk ikan (= fish) etc.
And I am also surprised that the Sipo is similar to Sapo in Indonesia.
