"Dragon Eyes" with Quail Eggs: For New Years Osechi or Bentos
I made these for Osechi (New Year's feast).
You can keep the flavors simple by just using soy sauce, or give these a sweet-salty flavor. You can also pre-season the chicken. This recipe can be varied in any way you like.
If you want to give them a sweet-salty flavor, heat up the flavoring ingredients in a frying pan before adding the dragon eyes to the pan. Coat them with the sauce while reducing it. Recipe by Rarumu

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Boil the quail eggs, peel and pat them dry with paper towels.
- 2
Cut the toasted nori seaweed into quarters.
- 3
Pat the chicken tenders dry, and remove the sinew. Butterfly them and even out the thickness.
- 4
Wrap each butterflied chicken tender in plastic wrap. Pound them lightly with a rolling pin to make then evenly thin. See Steps 13 and 14.
- 5
Open up the plastic wrap. Place a chicken tender vertically, and put a piece of nori on the near side. Put 2 quail eggs on the near side of the nori sideways (with a little space in between them).
- 6
Wrap the chicken up tightly around the eggs. Close up both ends.
- 7
Make a dent in between the eggs with your finger. This will be where you'll cut it in half. (The chicken roll should be the shape of an unshelled peanut.)
- 8
Coat the chicken evenly and thinly with flour. Shake off any excess.
- 9
Fry in oil heated to 170°C until the chicken is cooked through and crispy.
- 10
Put a little soy sauce in a bowl. Put the fried rolls in the soy sauce and roll them around to coat.
- 11
Cut a little off both ends of the rolls, and then cut them in half at the indentation. Cut each quail egg in half, to make a total of 4 pieces out of each roll.
- 12
To store: When the rolls have cooled down completely, put them uncut in a storage container with a tightly sealing lid and refrigerate.
- 13
Cut the plastic wrap so that it's the same width as the nori piece before using it to wrap the chicken. There'll be a little extra plastic on both sides of the chicken when you wrap it.
- 14
If you cut the plastic wrap the same width as the nori, the chicken will not get too wide when you bash it out. It will be about the same width as the nori too.

Pressed and Steamed Hard-Boiled Eggs for Osechi or Bento Pressed and Steamed Hard-Boiled Eggs for Osechi or Bento
This is a must for the Osechi I make every year. It's pretty, delicious, and more than anything else, it's easy.Pretty fancy for boiled eggs.It's also a favorite at our house on New Year's Eve.Note that the volume of egg white will be greater than the egg yolk, so you'll have to take note when adding the seasonings and when shaping them.When your making it so that the egg yolk sits lightly on top, there's no need to add flour and it still turns out great. The seasoning is Kansai-style, so it might be a bit sweet for some... adjust it to taste. Recipe by Momora

Tricolored Quail Eggs for Hanami Bentos Tricolored Quail Eggs for Hanami Bentos
I made a new version of last year's quail eggs that got rave reviews.Quail eggs tend to absorb color better if they're warm, so I recommend immersing them in hot water first. They absorb the color faster with Decofuri (decorative furikake rice sprinkles).I think they taste better marinated in Colorful brand furikake. The smoked salt flavor is so yummy!Quail eggs skewers that look like rice dumplings on skewers are really popular! Recipe by Tomato mama. -

Truly Delicious! New Year's Osechi - Chicken with Vegetables Truly Delicious! New Year's Osechi - Chicken with Vegetables

For Bentos: Chikuwa and Quail Egg Teriyaki For Bentos: Chikuwa and Quail Egg Teriyaki
There are usually 8 to 10 eggs in a can of boiled quail eggs, so you won't be able to use it all up if you make 1-2 rolls for a regular bento. So why not make a big batch of these for a Sports Day festival bento!Do your kids get excited about quail eggs as mine do?Add the sauce in over low heat, and make sure to shake the pan back and forth.If you roll the quail eggs the day before (e.g. a big event like Sports Festival), you will be done in 5 minutes the day of.If you wrap these up with the yellow side of the chikuwa facing outward, then the rolls will not look very pleasant. Make sure to roll the browned side outwards! Lol. For 8 rolls. Recipe by Shijimi24 -
Squid Daikon for Japanese-Style Bentos Squid Daikon for Japanese-Style Bentos
For my recent companion who likes Japanese flavors:* Squid Daikon* Burdock root (gobo), carrots, and green beans wrapped in chicken tenders and fried* Tamagoyaki (pan-fried rolled egg) with mentaiko (spiced roe) and green onion* Simmered arame-type kelp* Rice with black bean and mixed grains* Takuan (pickled daikon radish)Boil the daikon until it's soft.First bring the simmering sauce's flavoring ingredients to a strong boil before adding adding the squid.Don't overcook the squid; it gets hard.The broth will be squid scented.Add the water to the sauce, and then let the daikon absorb all the flavors as it simmers in the squid-scented sauce.The squid is added back in to simmer again at the end, so the squid and the daikon are both tender.

Osechi (New Year's Dish) Made Easy! Tazukuri (Candied Dry Sardines) Osechi (New Year's Dish) Made Easy! Tazukuri (Candied Dry Sardines)
These are delicious!My daughters can't put their chopsticks down, since they make a perfect complement to sake, neither can I!One serving for our new year's osechi is not enough, so I always make these three times!The key to this recipe is the thickness of the sauce. If it's too watery, the sardines won't become crispy enough, but if it's too thick, it won't coat the sardines. It should be just thick enough that you can see the bottom of the pan when you scrape it. For 4 to 5 servings. Recipe by Cake to pan no sensei -
Round and Cute Hatcho Miso Quail Egg Meatballs For Bento Round and Cute Hatcho Miso Quail Egg Meatballs For Bento
I just love the distinct richness and fragrance of hatcho miso! We use hatcho miso for Japanese dishes of course, but for us it's also an indispensable ingredient for demiglace sauce. I devised this bento to feature meatballs made using Aichi Prefecture locally-produced foods. The meatballs are made with Okazaki hatcho miso and quail eggs produced in Toyohashi. I included side dishes made with locally produced vegetables and seafood in the bento.In step 2, if you mix the sugar, hatcho miso and ketchup into a paste beforehand, the miso won't stiffen and the paste will be easier to knead.By both grating and mincing the lotus root, you can enjoy two different textures.The meatballs are well flavored, so they're delicious without sauce or other additions.
