Ingredients
- 6 extra large egg Footnote 1, Pete and Gerry’s Organic
- 5 tablespoons mayonnaise (or to taste)
- 1 heaping teaspoon wasabi or to taste, or Chinese hot mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Zha Cai Chinese pickled mustard greens, diced (Optional) (Footnote 2)
- 1 green onion , thinly sliced
- chili flakes or your favorite chili sauce, Chinese
Instructions
- To boil the eggs, fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs. Bring the water to a boil, then slowly lower the eggs using a ladle. Boil for 12 minutes, stirring the water in a circular motion with a spoon for the first minute (to keep the egg yolk in the center). Once the eggs are done, run them under cold tap water to stop cooking.
- Once the eggs are cooled, peel them and slice them in half lengthwise.
- Gently pop out the cooked yolks into a big bowl using a small spoon. Mash them with the backside of a spoon. Make sure to mash them as finely as you can, so the finished filling will be smooth.
- Add the mayonnaise, wasabi or mustard, and rice vinegar to the bowl. Mix with a spatula (or an immersion blender) just until it forms a smooth paste. You can adjust the taste by adding more mayo, wasabi, or vinegar.
- Add the zha cai pickles, if using. Mix again to distribute throughout the yolk mixture.
- Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag with a large star tip, or a small ziplock bag with a corner cut off.
- Pipe the yolks into the halved egg white cups.
- Garnish the eggs with chili flakes (or hot sauce) and green onions. Serve as an appetizer.
- These eggs can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 2 days. For the best result, you should serve them the same day you cooked them.
Notes
- I prefer to use larger eggs for deviled eggs because they’re easier to work with. You can use any other size you prefer, but be sure to adjust other ingredients according to your taste.
- The pickles are optional but highly recommended. They add a great texture to the eggs and make them taste better. If you do not have the Chinese pickles, you can use regular pickled cucumbers or any pickles that have a crunchy texture.
