Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Clean the quails and pat them dry with paper towels.

Cook rice in boiling water until tender, then drain and set aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté chopped onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add ground pork to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it apart, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in grated carrots, chopped lime leaves, and peanuts, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Combine the cooked rice with the meat mixture, adding soy sauce, fish sauce, and black pepper to taste.

Stuff each quail with the rice and meat mixture, securing openings with toothpicks if necessary.

Place stuffed quails in a roasting pan and brush with oil.

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the quails are golden and cooked through.

Let the quails rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped green onions and lime wedges.
