Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Hard-boil the eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer eggs immediately to an ice bath to stop cooking and ease peeling.
  2. Peel and halve the eggs: Once cooled, gently peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl and set the whites aside on a plate.
  3. Prepare the filling: Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add gochujang, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly, tasting to adjust seasoning and spice level. Fold in the finely chopped green onions last.
  4. Fill the egg whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture generously into each egg white half, showcasing the vibrant reddish-orange filling.
  5. Garnish and serve: Top with additional green onion pieces, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, or a small drizzle of extra gochujang for added visual and flavor impact.

Notes

  • Use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling.
  • Adjust gochujang quantity to control the spice level to your preference.
  • Mash yolks completely smooth before mixing to ensure a creamy filling without lumps.
  • Chill the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to blend flavors.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, toasted sesame seeds, or thin slices of radish or chili pepper to enhance taste and presentation.
