Instructions

Prepare the eggs:

Step 1

Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook for 9-12 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool. This will help make them easier to peel.

Step 2

Gently crack the eggshells and peel the eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Carefully remove the yolks from the egg halves and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside.

Prepare the filling:

Step 4

Chop the kimchi into small pieces using a food processor or chop into small pieces with a knife.

Step 5

Mash the egg yolks with a fork and then add the mayonnaise, chopped kimchi, gochujang, salt and pepper. Mix everything together until the filling is smooth and well combined. You can also blend the filling for a smoother texture.

Fill the egg whites:

Step 6

You can either spoon the filling into the egg white halves or use a pastry bag to pipe it in for a neater appearance. If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off.

Chill and Serve:

Step 7

Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. They can be served cold as an appetizer or snack.

Step 8

If you want to turn these into little Jack O Lantern's, cut out little eyes and smiles using seaweed sheets and use small pieces of chives as the stems!
