Instructions

Put the soy , garlic and oil into a bowl and toss the Quail in this. If you are using other meat slice it and double the marinade if you need to.
To make the pickle. Put the vinegar, sugar and water into the zip lock bag and add the grated carrot and ginger and a sprinkle of salt. Zip up the bag and shake till combined. Leave for 10 minutes
Set aside the coriander sprigs, cucumber strips and mayonnaise ready for use. Finely slice the chillies . When all the ingredients are ready. Begin.
Put a fry pan on to heat and add a little oil, sear the Quail breasts in a very hot pan. Reduce the heat and cook till done. This should take about 5-8 minutes. They will be firm and springy when cooked. You can over cook them so if you are unsure. Cut one to check the inside. Set them aside to rest.
Drain the carrots and use 1/2 of the pickling juice as sauce by adding the sliced chillies and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce ( or more if you like)
Construct the buns by spreading them with mayonnaise ( as much or as little as you like). Pile on the Quail breasts (4-6 per serve)and a teaspoon or two of special dressing then add the cucumber slices, pickled carrot and coriander. Add more chilli and dressing to taste or sprinkle with a little extra soy.
