Spicy Gochujang Eggs offer a flavorful twist on traditional egg salad by combining creamy egg mixture with spicy gochujang paste. Perfect for toast or rice, this quick and easy recipe adds a touch of Korean umami and heat to your meal.

Ingredients

4 large eggs

½ tablespoon gochujang paste, more to taste

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

¼ teaspoon brown sugar (optional)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 thick slices of sourdough bread (optional)

Butter (optional)

4 tablespoons kimchi, roughly chopped (optional)

1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

1 teaspoon thinly sliced chives or green onion (green parts only) (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully add the eggs. Cook for 7½ minutes* for a creamy yolk, then remove them from the pot and place them in an ice bath to cool down.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the gochujang paste, mayonnaise, sesame oil, and brown sugar (if using) until well combined. Taste and add more gochujang if you want it spicier.
  3. Peel the cooled eggs and rinse off any remaining pieces of shell. Place the peeled eggs in a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in the sauce mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Toast the sourdough bread and spread it with butter. Divide the chopped kimchi between the slices of toast. Spoon the gochujang egg mixture over the kimchi and top with toasted sesame seeds and chives or thinly sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Rice Bowl: Serve the gochujang eggs over steamed white rice instead of toast for a filling meal.
  • Adjust Spice: Make the dish milder or spicier depending on how much gochujang you use. Add gochugaru or red pepper flakes for additional heat.
  • Soft-boiled Eggs: For a runnier yolk, cook the eggs for 5 minutes instead of 7½ minutes.
  • Storage: The gochujang egg mixture can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Gently reheat the egg mixture in a skillet for toast or microwave for rice bowls.
