Kimchi Deviled Eggs
Description
This recipe transforms deviled eggs by incorporating chopped kimchi into the filling and as a topping, adding complexity and a hint of acidity to the creamy yolk mixture. Hard-boiled eggs are peeled and halved, with the yolks mashed smoothly with mayonnaise, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground ginger to build a balanced, savory base. Half of the kimchi is folded into the filling, while the remaining kimchi tops each egg half along with chopped chives. A drizzle of chili garlic oil can add an extra layer of spice. The texture contrasts between creamy filling and crunchy kimchi pieces enliven the familiar deviled egg experience, making these suitable appetizers or snacks with an Asian-inspired twist.
The recipe can be prepared slightly in advance: eggs and filling can be stored separately to maintain freshness when assembled just before serving. Using powdered seasonings helps preserve the smooth filling texture.
Ingredients
- 6 large egg
- 1/3 cup kimchi divided and chopped
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1-2 teaspoons chives chopped
- 1-2 teaspoons chili garlic oil optional
Instructions
- Hard Boil Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Using a push pin, gently poke a small hole in the large end of the egg. Add to boiling water and boil for 11 minutes. Drain the hot water and then fill the pot with cold water and ice to cool.
- Prep Eggs: Once eggs have cooled (at least 5 mins), gently peel and use a sharp knife to slice in half, lengthwise. Clean your blade after every slice to ensure yolk free egg whites. Gently remove the cooked yolks and add to a medium sized bowl.
- Mix Filling: Use a fork to mash the egg yolks and then add soy sauce, mayonnaise, ginger, garlic, and 1/2 of the finely chopped kimchi to the bowl with the egg yolks. Mix well.
- Fill Eggs: Use a spoon or a piping bag to add some of the filling (about a heaping tablespoon) to egg halves.
- Top Eggs: Top the eggs with the remaining chopped kimchi, chopped chives, and drizzle with some chili garlic oil.
- Serve and Enjoy!
Notes
- Hard-boiled eggs can be prepared several days in advance and stored in the fridge.
- For best texture in the filling, use powdered garlic and ground ginger rather than fresh.
- Assemble deviled eggs shortly before serving to keep egg whites firm and prevent filling from drying out.
- Choose your preferred kimchi variety; milder types work well for a balanced flavor.
- Chili garlic oil is optional but adds a complementary spicy finish.
