Prep Time: 50 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Makes: 12

Ingredients

  • 1 dozen large eggs
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp. packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 small clove garlic finely grated with a microplane
  • 1 tsp. Korean hot pepper flakes
  • 1 scallion thinly sliced on the bias

Instructions

  • Place the eggs in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover the eggs by one inch.
  • Over high heat, bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and cover. Leave the eggs in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Drain the hot water from the eggs and carefully shake the pan so the egg shells crack in a few places.
  • Place in an ice bath (a large bowl filled with cold water and ice). Keep the eggs in the ice bath for at least 20 minutes.
  • Peal the eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a medium-large bowl. Mash the yolks well.
  • To the mashed yolks, add the mayonnaise, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and garlic. Stir well.
  • Evenly pipe the yolk mixture into the whites or transfer using a spoon. Top with hot pepper flakes and scallions.

Notes

If you don't have a microplane you can press the garlic clove through a garlic press or mince it as finely as possible.
