Quail Egg Stuffed Meatballs with Japanese Hamburg Sauce

It takes a little more effort in preparing the meal, but it was well worth it. I chose to bake my meatballs to reduce the calories compared to deep frying. You can coat it with flour, egg, and bread crumbs if you want a crispy exterior. If you choose to deep fry your meatballs, fast fry it for 2-3 mins at 175C. That way you’ll still be able to get runny yolk, but remember to cook your eggs no more than 2 minutes, and dip them into ice water to stop the cooking process. I served my meatballs with Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes and some blanched greens. Here’s how to make these yummy meatballs!
