Spicy Kimchi and Cheese Egg Salad

Ingredients:

6 extra-large eggs (approx. 59g each)

1 ½ tablespoons whole egg mayonnaise

¼ cup chopped kimchi

⅓ cup (50g) grated sharp cheddar

2 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce, plus extra to serve

Black and white sesame seeds (optional)

Method:

Grease a shallow baking dish (4-cup capacity) that fits inside a large deep pan with a lid. Crack eggs into baking dish so that eggs are in a single layer. Place inside pan. Fill pan with enough water to come 1cm up the sides
Cover with lid and cook over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand for 2-3 minutes with the lid on
Transfer eggs to a chopping board. Coarsely chop with a sharp knife. Transfer to a bowl. Stir through mayonnaise, kimchi, cheese and hot sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, to serve.

Tips & Hints:

Alternatively, use the traditional method for making hard boiled eggs: Half fill a saucepan with cold water and gently lower the eggs into pan. Heat over medium heat. Once the water reaches a simmer, start the timer for 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the water. Cool eggs by running them under cold water for 30-60 seconds or placing them in a bowl of iced water.
Egg salad can be made in advance. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Use any available spicy Asian hot sauce.
