Recipe Overview

Ingredients & Instructions
These deviled eggs come together with simple ingredients and minimal prep, yet deliver big flavor.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh cilantro or green onions, for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat, cover the pot, and cook until the eggs are fully hard-boiled.
Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice water bath and let them cool completely. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
2. Peel and Slice
Once cooled, gently crack and peel the eggs. Slice each egg lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them into a mixing bowl. Set the egg white halves aside on a serving platter.
3. Make the Filling
Mash the egg yolks until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and fully combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For extra heat, add more chili garlic sauce or sriracha.
4. Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Piping gives a polished look, but spooning works perfectly for a more rustic presentation.
5. Finish and Garnish
Drizzle lightly with sriracha and garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature.
Cooking Tips & Variations
These deviled eggs are flexible and easy to customize based on your spice tolerance and flavor preferences.
1. Control the Heat
- Prefer mild spice? Reduce the sriracha or chili garlic sauce.
- Love extra heat? Add a pinch of cayenne or a dash of chili oil.
2. Texture Tweaks
- For ultra-smooth filling, use a food processor.
- For extra richness, add a spoonful of cream cheese or Greek yogurt.
3. Flavor Variations
- Swap rice vinegar for lime juice for a citrusy twist.
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika for subtle smokiness.
- Mix in finely chopped pickles or kimchi for tang and crunch.
4. Make Them Fancy
- Top with crispy bacon bits or fried shallots.
- Garnish with sesame seeds for an Asian-inspired finish.
