Step-by-Step Instructions

Top Tips for Perfecting Spicy Gochujang Deviled Eggs

• Egg Freshness: Using older eggs can make peeling a breeze. Fresh eggs tend to stick to the shell more.
• Adjust Heat Levels: If you prefer less heat, start with a smaller amount of gochujang and add as needed.
• Piping Technique: For a polished look, use a piping bag to fill the egg whites neatly. Alternatively, scooping with a spoon works well!

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have any leftovers (though we doubt it!), store the deviled eggs in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 days. For optimal taste, it’s best to consume them within this timeframe. If you want to prepare ahead, consider making the yolk filling and storing it separately. That way, simply assemble the eggs right before serving for the freshest taste!

Now that you’re armed with this delicious recipe and all the tips and tricks, it’s time to get cooking! Enjoy the spicy delight of your homemade Spicy Gochujang Deviled Eggs!
