Boil quail eggs in water for 5 minutes, then cover and let sit for another 5 minutes.

Prepare the batter by mixing flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Add a little water to the cornstarch to dissolve it, then mix into the dry ingredients.

Add 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter mixture and continue mixing until combined.

Prepare the dipping sauce with vinegar and soy sauce, optionally adding banana ketchup for sweetness and chili sauce for spice.

Add orange food coloring to the batter until the desired color is achieved, adjusting with more flour if necessary for consistency.

Heat oil in a deep pan until hot.

Dip each boiled quail egg into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

Carefully place the coated eggs into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove the eggs from the oil and drain on paper towels before serving with the dipping sauce.
