Eggs
Filling
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- Chopped fresh cilantro or green onions (for garnish)
- Boil the Eggs: Place 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan, allowing the eggs to cook for 12 minutes to achieve perfectly hard-boiled eggs.
- Prepare an Ice Bath: While the eggs are cooking, fill a large bowl with ice water to create an ice bath. This will stop the cooking process and help with easier peeling.
- Cool the Eggs: After cooking, transfer the eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon. Let them sit for about 5 minutes until they are completely cool.
- Peel the Eggs: Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and roll it between your hands to crack the shell. Peel the shells under cold running water to remove them easily without damaging the eggs.
- Make the Filling: Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of chili garlic sauce, 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until creamy and well combined.
- Pipe the Filling: Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites or use a piping bag for a clean and elegant presentation of the deviled eggs.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle each filled egg with sriracha if desired and sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro or green onions on top. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce and sriracha according to your preferred spice level.
- Use fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions for added freshness and color.
- Deviled eggs can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated, but add fresh garnishes just before serving.
- Peeling the eggs under running water helps prevent tearing of the whites.
