Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (such as Sambal Oelek or Huy Fong)
- 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 green onion, finely sliced (for garnish)
- Crushed red chili flakes (optional, for garnish)
- Chili crisp oil or crispy fried onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
- Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
- Drain and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Chill for 5 minutes.
- Gently crack and peel eggs under running water.
- Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place in a mixing bowl; arrange whites on a serving platter.
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic powder to the yolks. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and season with salt, pepper, and more chili garlic sauce if desired. If too thick, add a splash of water or more mayo.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites.
- Garnish with sliced green onions, crushed red chili flakes, and (optional) chili crisp oil or crispy fried onions.
- Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Use older eggs for easier peeling. Adjust chili garlic sauce to your heat preference. For extra smooth filling, press yolk mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For gluten-free, use tamari and check chili garlic sauce labels. Garnish just before serving for best texture.
