"Make Your Bed!" (Quail Eggs, Avocado, Cucumber, Rice, Sauce)

Sushi without the Fish!?? Maybe! Thinking on my own, trying to come up with new ways for Quail Egg dishes, as I was blessed with an abundance of Quail Eggs as a gift from my lovely neighbor. This turned out very pleasing and I hope your family may enjoy as well as mine does!

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Boil Quail Eggs in salted water at a rolling boil for 6-7minutes, remove from heat, drain and place pan of eggs under cold running water til eggs are cold (several minutes)

* Step 2

To a saucepan, add 1/2c soy sauce, 1/2c Honey, 2Tbs Orange Marmalade, juice squeezed from 1/2 Lemon, up to 3Tbs each:Garlic Powder, Curry Powder, Ginger Powder, few shakes of Crushed Red Pepper. Bring to rolling boil for 2-3min, reduce heat and simmer at low boil, stirring often, til sauce is reduced, somewhat thickened. (5+min.) Remove from heat and allow to cool. (This thickens a tad more when completely cool)

* Step 3

In a separate pot/pan, boil 1c of dried rice in 2 1/2-3c of salted water. To this boil, add 1Tbs each of Garlic and Onion Powders. Bring the rice to rolling boil 5min, then cover, reduce heat for gentle boil/simmer for 10-15min, or until desired softness.

* Step 4

Carefully peel the shell from Quail Eggs, discarding shells and adding eggs to cooled sauce.

* Step 5

Peel, Halve, and Remove the seed from both Avocados. You may choose to remove a thin straight slice from the round part (bottom of the halve) caring not too slice too deep, into the well of the avocado. Trimming a flat strip from the bottom will better help the avocado to sit flat.

* Step 6

Cut cucumber in half. Using one half, thinly slice lengthwise for several slices.

* Step 7

With a measuring cup, pack 1c of cooked rice. Turn the measuring cup upside down and allow rice to make a bed on the plate. Be sure to sprinkle bed of Rice with Paprika.

* Step 8

Atop the Paprika-Sprinkled Rice, add a thin slice (or 2!) of the cucumber, press down to make the rice a bed or somewhat bowl and top with halved Avocado and 2 Quail Eggs.

* Step 9

Generously sprinkle more Paprika over entire dish, and spoon Sauce atop the eggs and rice, adding more sparingly to the plate. When eating, I suggest halving each egg to have with cucumber, avocado and rice with sauce in each bite! Use the sauce on the plate for each bite of remaining rice! Enjoy!
