How to make deviled eggs with wasabi

Cut all the hard-boiled eggs in halves, lengthwise. Transfer the yolks into a bowl (a soup bowl will do) and break them with a fork.

Keep breaking them until they look like crumbs. When you are done, add wasabi, mayonnaise, soy sauce and finely chopped fresh chives. Mix everything until well combined.

Now it’s time to taste the yolk mixture for wasabi deviled eggs. If you like, add more wasabi, mayo or chives. And salt and pepper, if needed.

When you are happy with its taste, fill each egg white with the mixture. I like using a piping bag fitted with any wide piping tip.

Good to know: Transfer the egg whites onto a serving plate/tray before you fill them. It makes the whole process easier as you don’t have to transfer each filled egg white onto the tray, risking that you will ruin it.

Top tips

• Garnish/extra toppings – instead of chives, you can use fresh parsley. Crispy bacon is also a delicious add-on to this easy appetizer.
• If using soy sauce, add the seasoning at the very end – after you have tasted the mixture to prevent over-salting it.
• Wasabi paste – this is the main ingredient so please do not omit it. If you do, you might end up with a very bland taste.

How long will peeled boiled eggs last in the refrigerator?

When stored in an air-tight container, they can last up to 5 days.

Why are my hard-boiled eggs hard to peel?

Knowing how to peel hard boiled eggs without breaking them into pieces is important, especially when we need the eggs to look pretty.

Apparently, the fresher the egg, the harder it is to peel them. So next time try using older eggs rather than the fresh ones or you can also test them to see for yourself.

I like cooking eggs in my pressure cooker. The eggs come out un-cracked and the yolks are always done. And more importantly, they are way easier to peel. So if you want your deviled eggs to turn out perfectly, try a pressure cooker, if you have one!

Another thing I have noticed is that well-chilled eggs are a nightmare to peel. But this can just be me.

Did you know?

Apparently, wasabi root is pretty expensive, so most companies use horseradish, mustard flour + other ingredients to make wasabi paste.
