Japanese Deviled Eggs are a delightful twist on the classic recipe, introducing a fusion of Asian flavors.

How to make Japanese Deviled Eggs?

Directions

  1. Start by boiling the eggs in a pot until hard-boiled. Then, swiftly transfer them to cold water to cool and make peeling a breeze. Once peeled, cut each egg in half, and carefully remove the yolks.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the yolks with a luscious mixture of mayo, soy sauce, mustard, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix until you achieve a smooth, velvety texture.
  3. Transfer the yolk mixture into a ziplock bag, expelling any excess air before sealing. Then, snip a small corner or use a piping bag to squeeze the flavorful yolk mixture onto the egg whites.
  4. Finally, dress these deviled eggs with sliced jalapeño and finely chopped green onions, adding a hint of sharpness and zest to each delectable bite.

Pro Tip

Make sure the water is boiling in the pot before placing eggs inside. Otherwise, it will be difficult to peel off the shell.

  • Add Kewpie Mayo, Soy Sauce, yellow mustard, Rice Vinegar, a sprinkle of salt & pepper and mix all together with a fork. It's extremely important that each ingredient is measured out, otherwise, the texture will be off. After mixing, you should have something that represents a potato salad texture. If it's runny, you'll need to add more cooked egg yolk and if it's dry, you'll need to add more mayo.
