Wasabi Deviled Eggs with Ahi Tuna
Wasabi Deviled Eggs with Ahi Tuna Recipe: Japanese sushi flavors packed into creamy deviled eggs. This Asian-American mashup is an international hit!
In my humble opinion, one of the true joys of spring, is the onslaught of deviled egg recipes.
Although deviled eggs can and should be consumed year-round, as Easter approaches, these creamy little delights seem to pop up everywhere.
Most often we see them with the traditional add-ins of mustard and dill. However, deviled eggs are such a wonderful platform for all sorts of flavor combinations, it would be a shame to stop there!
Today’s Wasabi Deviled Eggs with Ahi Tuna recipe was inspired by my friend’s deviled egg dabblings.
The creamy filling is kissed with wasabi paste for a spicy horseradish kick.
Then delicate slivers of Ahi Tuna and pickled ginger are laid over the top, followed by furikake seaweed and sesame seeds seasoning.
Wasabi Deviled Eggs with Ahi Tuna Ingredients
Hard boiled eggs – We have a tutorial on the easiest way to makehard boiled eggs. Or you can just buy them pre-boiled and peeled at the market.- Mayonnaise – This blends into the yolks to soften the texture of the yolks and add a tangy flavor.
- Dijon mustard – To balance the sweetness of the mayo, and provide a little kick!
- Wasabi paste – Just a little goes a long way. Wasabi has a tendency to intensify over time, so don’t
over do it! - Onion powder – For that little extra something.
- Sushimi-grade ahi tuna – Slice it extra thin, so you can add little Ahi shavings on top of each egg.
- Pickled ginger – You can find this at a grocery deli/sushi counter or in the International foods section.
- Furikake – This Japanese rice seasoning includes
seasweed and sesame seeds to bring the whole sushi theme together.
Wasabi Deviled Eggs with Ahi Tuna offer a simple comforting, yet exotic, combination.
Yet you can keep piling on the toppings if you like… Chives, sriracha,
Can You Make Deviled Eggs Ahead Of Time?
Yes! That’s one of the best things about deviled eggs… Not only can you make them with countless flavor combinations, they can be made 3-4 days in advance.
Just be sure to place them in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
However, with this particular Ahi deviled eggs recipe, I would only make them 2 days ahead, due to the sushimi-grade tuna on top.
My family goes CRAZY over these deviled eggs every time I make them.
They offer the comfort of a classic southern deviled eggs recipe, with a unique twist that make them even more inviting!
