12 quail eggs
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1 drop yellow food coloring
1 drop red food coloring
1 cup all-purpose flour
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
oil for deep frying
1/4 cup cornstarch
bamboo skewer

1
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 2 minutes. Rinse eggs in cold water and cool to room temperature; peel.
2
Combine rice vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, and soy sauce in a saucepan. Cook and stir over medium until sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
3
Prepare batter by adding red and yellow food coloring to the water to get a deep orange color. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl; pour in orange water and stir until there are no lumps.
4
Heat oil in a wok to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5
Gently roll eggs in cornstarch to coat and shake off excess cornstarch. Dip into orange batter so they are fully covered. Poke eggs with the bamboo skewer and drop gently into the hot oil. Deep fry until the batter is crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
