Steps

1
Take the quail eggs out of the refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour before boiling and leave them at room temperature to remove the chill.
2
Gently wash the quail eggs in running water to remove any impurities on the surface.
3
Place the quail eggs in a pot and pour enough water to fully submerge them.
4
Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of salt, and boil over high heat.
5
When bubbles start to rise before the water boils, gently roll the quail eggs in one direction with a spoon. This helps the yolks center themselves.
6
Once the water starts boiling, boil for 7 to 10 minutes to cook them hard-boiled.
7
Immediately submerge the boiled quail eggs in cold water and cool them thoroughly.
8
Put the cooled quail eggs and a little water into a plastic container with a lid.
9
Close the lid of the container and shake it back and forth to create cracks all over the quail egg shells.
10
Peel the shell starting from the cracked areas while turning the egg.
11
For quail eggs that do not crack easily, lightly tap them on the bottom and roll them to create cracks all over the shell.
12
After peeling all the shells, wash them in running water to remove any remaining small shell fragments.

Leaving the quail eggs at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour before boiling can reduce the chance of them cracking during cooking. Boiling them for 7 to 10 minutes from the point the water starts boiling results in hard-boiled eggs.
