Preparation:
Preparation time: 5 min
Cooking time: 12 min
Serving: 6
Ingredients:
● 6 extra large Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs (Footnote 1)
● 5 tablespoons mayonnaise (or to taste)
● 1 heaping teaspoon of wasabi or Chinese hot mustard (or to taste)
● 1/4 teaspoon rice vinegar
● 2 tablespoons zha cai Chinese pickled mustard greens, diced (Optional) (Footnote 2)
● 1 green onion, thinly sliced
● Chinese chili flakes (or your favorite chili sauce)
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.
