Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large hard-boiled eggs
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang paste
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Thin chili slices
  • Fresh herbs such as cilantro or chives
  • Finely chopped crispy bacon
  • Toasted nuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cook for 10-12 minutes to ensure firm yolks. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool quickly, which makes peeling easier and prevents overcooking.
  2. Peel and Halve: Carefully peel the cooled eggs and slice each one in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, keeping the whites intact and ready for stuffing.
  3. Mix the Filling: In the bowl with yolks, add gochujang paste, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then fold in the finely chopped green onions.
  4. Stuff the Eggs: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the egg white halves with the spicy yolk mixture. Arrange the stuffed eggs on a serving plate.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the deviled eggs with your choice of toasted sesame seeds, thin chili slices, or fresh herbs to enhance both presentation and flavor. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use an ice bath immediately after boiling eggs to stop cooking and ensure easy peeling.
  • Whisk the yolk mixture thoroughly for a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Adjust the amount of gochujang gradually to control the spice level.
  • Refrigerate stuffed eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  • Fresh green onions and fresh eggs enhance the taste and appearance.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Deviled eggs are not recommended for freezing as texture may degrade.
  • Reheating is unnecessary; serve chilled or bring to room temperature for 10-15 minutes if preferred.
