  • Boil and peel 15 quail eggs 
  • Mince 6 big grey prawns, 3 water chestnut and 1 onion 
  • Mix 200g minced meat, prawn, water chestnut and onion with 1.5tbsp oyster sauce, 1 egg, 1 tbsp shaoxing wine, 1 tbsp sesame oil, pepper 
  • Wrap the meat mixture around the quail egg into a ball
  • Crush the crackers to powder. 
  • Coat with corn flour followed by cracker powder. 
  • Deep fry the meat ball with quail egg. 

 Taste awesome though did not look as attractive.
