Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 6 large eggs Essential for the recipe, providing the base; use fresh for optimal results.
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar Enhances flavor and aids in peeling eggs; you can substitute with white vinegar.
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt A must for seasoning and enhancing flavors; adjust to suit your taste preferences.
  • 3 tablespoons Kewpie mayonnaise Adds a unique creaminess and umami; regular mayonnaise can be used in a pinch, but flavor will differ.
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste The star ingredient that gives these curried deviled eggs their distinct flavor and spice; yellow or green curry paste works for milder heat.
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard Introduces tang and complexity; there’s no direct substitute, but yellow mustard is an option.
  • 2 tablespoons crème fraîche Contributes to a rich and smooth texture; Greek yogurt can be a lighter substitution.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder These spices offer savory depth; swap for fresh minced onion if preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder These spices offer savory depth; swap for fresh minced garlic if preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice Brightens up the dish wonderfully; fresh lime is highly recommended for maximum flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin Adds warmth to the filling; feel free to omit if you don’t have it on hand.
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce Enhances umami; skip for a vegetarian version.
For Garnishing
  • 1 slice Thai red chili Adds a pop of color and heat to your presentation; omit if you prefer a milder flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro A delightful finishing touch, enhancing the visual appeal and taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 5 cups of water, ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat. Once boiling, gently add 6 large eggs, cover the pot, and set a timer for 11 minutes.
  2. While your eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water.
  3. Once the timer goes off, promptly transfer the eggs from the saucepan to the ice bath using a slotted spoon. Allow the eggs to cool in the ice bath for about 6 minutes.
  4. Carefully peel the cooled eggs under a gentle stream of running water. Once peeled, slice each egg lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  5. In the bowl with the yolks, use a fork to mash them until crumbly. Add 3 tablespoons of Kewpie mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of red curry paste, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of crème fraîche, and a sprinkle of onion powder, garlic powder, lime juice, and fish sauce. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
  6. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with additional kosher salt as needed.
  7. Transfer your yolk mixture to a ziplock bag. Snip off one corner of the bag, creating a small opening for piping. Carefully pipe the creamy filling into each egg white half.
  8. Garnish with slices of Thai red chili and fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately.
