Ingredients
Scale
6 large eggs
Cold water (for boiling)
Ice (for cooling)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1–2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (to taste)
1 teaspoon mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Finely chopped chives
Sesame seeds
Red pepper flakes
Smoked paprika
Thinly sliced green onions
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let cool for at least 10 minutes to stop the cooking and make peeling easier.
Gently tap each egg on a hard surface, peel under cold running water, then slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, chili garlic sauce, mustard, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined, adjusting the chili garlic sauce to your preferred spice level.
Whisk or mash the mixture until light, fluffy, and completely smooth. Add a bit more mayo if needed to reach a silky consistency.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, mounding it slightly for a generous bite.
Top with chopped chives, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, or green onions for color and extra flavor.
Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld and the filling set, then serve chilled.
