Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped kimchi
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (plus extra for drizzling)
- ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Black sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Thinly sliced green onions (for garnish)
Preparation Tips
- Use well-fermented kimchi: Older kimchi has a stronger, tangier flavor that enhances the filling.
- Adjust the spice level: Add more or less Sriracha depending on your heat preference.
- Chop kimchi finely: This ensures it blends smoothly into the filling without overwhelming the texture.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Boil and Peel the Eggs
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let them sit, covered, for 10-12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. In a bowl, mash the yolks with mayonnaise, chopped kimchi, Sriracha, rice vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.
Step 3: Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves for a polished look.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Top each deviled egg with a drizzle of Sriracha, a sprinkle of black sesame seeds, and thinly sliced green onions for color and texture.
