These Korean gochujang deviled eggs combine a creamy, spicy yolk filling with a crunchy toasted sesame topping, making a quick and addictive snack perfect for gatherings or casual snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled, and cooled
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onions
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water by about an inch (240 ml). Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let eggs rest for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Carefully peel the eggs under running water to help remove shells smoothly. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove yolks, placing whites on a serving tray.
  4. Place the yolks in a mixing bowl. Mash them with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons gochujang, 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon honey to the mashed yolks. Mix thoroughly until creamy and smooth. Adjust salt or gochujang to taste.
  6. Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onions. Toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg whites generously.
  8. Sprinkle the toasted sesame and green onion crunch evenly over the filled eggs. Add a fresh grind of black pepper if desired.
  9. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes for flavors to meld.

Notes

If the filling is too thick, add more mayonnaise or a splash of rice vinegar to loosen it. Use a piping bag for neat presentation. Toast sesame seeds and green onions carefully to avoid burning. For vegan option, substitute eggs with firm tofu and use vegan mayo. Use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce for gluten-free version.
