I recently watched the movie Chef and loved it. This is the first movie I think where the term, “food blogger” has been used. Am I right or am I forgetting another movie? Anyway, in Chef, the food blogger is also a food critic and has a huge following on Twitter. .  anyway, I loved the movie so much for so many reasons.

(If you haven’t seen the movie, don’t read the next paragraph. I don’t want to upset anyone by giving away something.)

The cooking scenes. Damn. I want Chef Carl Casper to make me a grilled cheese sandwich. OH MY GAWD. The father/son relationship, the road trip home in the food truck. The stop in New Orleans. The video clip his son makes for him. The relationship he has with his cooking staff.

And most of all, I loved Chef Carl’s passion. His desire to make good food. His desire to be creative, inventive, different and brave.

I might post some weird looking things on my blog. Foods you might never want to eat. .  but what I hope I do is bring a little creativity. .  a little adventure. . a little Korean-ness.

These are like the BEST deviled eggs I’ve ever had. Ever. I seriously could have eaten 10 of these. So good. Three very unique Korean ingredients bring this recipe to life. 

Thanks. . I hope you enjoy!

Kimchi Deviled Eggs

Makes 14 deviled eggs
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Korean-ish
Keyword: deviled eggs, kimchi, kimchi deviled eggs
Author: hipfoodiemom

Ingredients

  • 7 large eggs
  • 2 heaping tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons yellow mustard or Dijon mustard depends on your taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon brown rice vinegar or any rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang Korean hot pepper paste + more if desired
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup kimchi chopped
  • crispy bacon strips crumbled for garnish
  • fresh chives finely diced for garnish

Instructions

  • Place the eggs in a small pot and fill it with cold water. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once the water starts boiling, turn to heat to low and let the eggs cook for about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and slowly pour out the hot water and fill the pot with cold water, covering the eggs for about a minute or two; alternatively you can drop the eggs immediately into an ice bath.
  • Peel the eggs, slice them lengthwise, and gently remove the yolks, transferring them to a mixing bowl. Arrange the empty egg whites on a platter, cut-side up.
  • Using a fork, mash the yolks until they are completely crumbled. Add the mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar and mix together until you form a smooth paste. Add the gochujang and mix together until well blended. Taste, adjust anything as needed and set aside.
  • Using a small to medium-sized skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium high heat and sauté the chopped kimchi for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Remove from the heat and set aside. This quick cooking deepens the flavor of the kimchi.
  • Transfer the egg yolk filling to a plastic bag or piping bag fitted with a tip. Press the bag with your hands to push all the filling to one corner and press any air out of the top. If using a plastic zip top bag, snip one corner off with a pair of scissors. Pipe the filling into the cup of each egg white, filling the cups so that the filling mounds a little over the top. Squeeze the bag from the top to force the filling downward. Alternatively, you can scoop the filling into the egg whites with a small spoon.
  • Garnish each deviled egg with some sautéed kimchi and top with the crispy bacon bits and chives. Serve immediately.

    I love foodie movies so much. I’ll watch them over and over, always scrolling to the scenes where food is featured most prominently. Chef sounds like a fun movie, but I’ll probably wait until it’s on Netflix or something to watch it. I’m always blown away by your Korean fusion recipes, Alice. This one is no exception – it looks dangerously addictive! Heading over to the Kitchn for the recipe!

    Haha, I’m constantly thinking that the things I post are a little weird or maybe just things that appeal to my own taste buds. But I agree with you, we have to stay true to our tastes and try to bring a little creativity and personality to it! I actually love kimchi AND deviled eggs, so I’m sure I would love these!

    Wow! Kimchi goes well with so many things. I’ve never had kimchi deviled eggs before, but hey…I love kimchi with fried eggs, so why not in deviled eggs too?! I loved the movie, Chef. There were so many things I was able to relate to. I don’t think I’ve seen enough movies to know. But other than “Julie and Julia” back in the day, I haven’t heard that term used in any movies either. I can imagine as food bloggers (though different niches), we were inspired to reach that level of that food critic/blogger. The movie was inspiring on many levels. Loved it.

    I finally saw Chef this past weekend! We both really enjoyed the movie and, you’re right, it wasn’t just the food but Carl’s passion and how his relationship with his son blossomed during their food adventure. Now I have to try your kimchi deviled eggs – my daughter and I love kimchi!
