- 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: sliced green onions, chopped peanuts, or additional cilantro
Cooking Tips:
- To make perfect hard-boiled eggs, place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then remove the pot from the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes. Drain the eggs and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- To easily remove the egg yolks, gently tap the boiled eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then roll them between your hands to loosen the shell. Peel the shell off under running water to prevent sticking.
- For a smoother filling, use a food processor or blender to mix the egg yolks, mayonnaise, curry paste, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
Cooking Process:
1. Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks.
2. In a bowl, mash the egg yolks with a fork or use a food processor to make a smooth paste.
3. Add the mayonnaise, Thai red curry paste, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper to the egg yolks and mix well.
4. Spoon the filling into the egg white halves and garnish with sliced green onions, chopped peanuts, or additional cilantro if desired.
5. Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
