KWEK KWEK means "Quack Quack".Because the kind of egg which is generally used for cooking this orange food were duck eggs. Then there's the smaller variation called "Tokneneng" - which uses quail eggs. In this really easy recipe I used chicken eggs and they are readily available just anywhere. I cooked these in a hurry.
Ingredients:
- EGGS
- all purpose flour
- water
- cooking oil for frying
- orange food colour
- salt, pepper
START:
1. Boil the eggs: first the water (just enough so the eggs' shells aren't surfacing); when the water starts to boil add the eggs & let boil for 10 minutes, 12 minutes if you want your eggs to get harder. If overcooked the yolk becomes GREEN.
Peel the eggs: After the boiling bath, immediately place the eggs in cold water before peeling - this will make it easier.
2. Make the orange batter:
For every cup of flour, use 1/2 cup of water. Mix together the flour, water, a dash of salt, a pinch of pepper, a liitle food colouring (you can use blue or green but it won't look as appetizing, i've tried it)

| consistency should look something like this, thick |
3. Frying:
You will need some dry flour. Dredge the eggs into dry flour
then into the batter - completely cover them.
Then drop onto the hot cooking oil. It should be deep fried
After a minute or so, it is done. Just llike that. Goes great with vinegar.
Enjoy your protein rich food that is Kwek kwek!
