A bold twist on classic deviled eggs featuring a creamy gochujang filling topped with tangy kimchi relish, perfect for parties and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) gochujang (Korean fermented chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • ½ cup finely chopped kimchi
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a medium pot. Cover with cold water about 1 inch above eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then roll lightly to loosen. Peel under running water if needed. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Using a sharp knife, slice eggs lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place in a mixing bowl. Arrange whites on a serving plate.
  4. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, gochujang, softened cream cheese, and rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a small corner cut off. Pipe evenly into the egg white halves. Alternatively, spoon and gently spread the filling.
  6. Finely chop kimchi and spoon a small amount on top of each deviled egg. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
  7. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Use eggs that have been in the fridge for about a week for easier peeling. Peel eggs under running water to remove stubborn bits. Add kimchi topping just before serving to keep crunch. If filling is too thick, add a splash more mayonnaise or rice vinegar. For vegan adaptation, use firm tofu and vegan mayo/cream cheese with turmeric for color.
