This recipe offers a fun and vibrant way to enjoy your favorite party appetizer with an extra zing.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Gochujang Deviled Eggs
- Gochujang Paste: This Korean chili paste brings a unique depth of sweet heat and umami. Use a good quality brand for the best flavor in your deviled eggs.

Step 2: Make Gochujang Filling
To the bowl with the yolks, add mayonnaise, gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of sugar. Mash everything together with a fork until very smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper as you like.

Step 2: Mix Creamy Filling
Add mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, cayenne pepper (if using), 2 tablespoons of Cotija cheese, and 2 tablespoons of cilantro to the bowl with the yolks and corn. Mash everything well with a fork until creamy, leaving some corn pieces intact for texture. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
