Directions

Step 1 Start by Boiling the Eggs in a pot until hard-boiled, about 7-10 minutes. Then, swiftly transfer them to cold water to cool. Once peeled, cut each egg in half, and carefully remove the yolks.

🥚 Boiled Eggs Pro Tip

For perfectly boiled eggs, ensure the Water is Boiling Before Adding the Eggs. This step is crucial to facilitate easy peeling afterward. If the water isn’t boiling, the eggs may stick to the shell, making them difficult to peel.

Step 2 In a mixing bowl, combine the yolks with a mixture of mayo, soy sauce, mustard, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix with a fork until you achieve a smooth texture.

💡 Mixture Pro Tip

Ensure Precise Measurements of each ingredient. Even a slight deviation can affect the texture of the yolk mixture, compromising the overall taste and consistency of the dish.

Step 3 Transfer the yolk mixture into a ziplock bag, expelling any excess air before sealing. Then, snip a small corner or use a piping bag to squeeze the flavorful yolk mixture onto the egg whites.

🍽️ Serving Pro Tip

For the best texture and flavor, Refrigerate the assembled deviled eggs for 30 Minutes Before Serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and firms up the filling for easier handling.

Pairing Recommendations

Pair your deviled eggs with other Asian-inspired appetizers like Bacon Wrapped Quail Eggs Yakitori, Egg Roll Sushi, or Garlic Truffle Edamame for a complete and satisfying spread. These finger foods offer a perfect balance of flavors and textures, ensuring a delightful dining experience for your guests.
