Soy-Braised Beef Strips and Quail Eggs

This is a somewhat salty side dish meant to be eaten in small amounts with rice and other dishes. While quail eggs are the classic accompaniment, feel free to substitute four chicken eggs. Hard-boil them separately, peel and add to the pot after shredding the meat, making sure to submerge them in the salty broth so they absorb the flavour.
