Ingredients
Scale
Eggs & Filling
- 1 dozen eggs
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Toppings & Garnishes
- ½ cup cooked crab meat
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
- Radishes, thinly sliced
- Black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, remove it from heat, and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 13 minutes to cook through.
- Cool the eggs: Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice-water bath. Let them chill until completely cold to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
- Peel and halve the eggs: Carefully peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl.
- Prepare the filling: Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Stir in mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and salt until well combined and creamy.
- Fill the egg whites: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the hollowed egg whites with the wasabi-infused yolk mixture evenly and neatly.
- Add toppings and garnish: Top each deviled egg half with a small amount of cooked crab meat. Garnish with thin slices of avocado, cucumber, radishes, and sprinkle black sesame seeds on top for flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- For perfectly peeled eggs, use eggs that are at least a few days old.
- Adjust the amount of wasabi paste according to your spice preference.
- Substitute imitation crab if fresh crab meat is unavailable.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate covered for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
- Use a piping bag with a star tip for a decorative filling presentation.
