Sesame Quail EggsRoland Bello

Cooking peeled hard-boiled quail eggs in a mixture of water, soy sauce, and sugar creates lovely little tea-colored morsels that contrast firm whites with buttery yolks. A quarter teaspoon of sesame oil is all it takes to cast an alluringly nutty spell over the eggs.

Cooks' note:

Sesame quail eggs are best the day they are made but can be made 1 day ahead and chilled.
