Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp Kewpie mayo
- 1 to 2 tsp gochujang
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 3 slices Spam
- 1 to 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 1 sheet nori, cut into thin strips
- 1/2 stalk scallion, chopped
- furikake, for topping
- Equipment
- saucepan
- mixing bowl
- small skillet
- piping bag or zip-top bag (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the eggs. Hard boil the eggs for 10 to 11 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath. Once cool, peel and halve each egg and scoop the yolks into a bowl.
- Make the filling. Mash the yolks with the Kewpie mayo, gochujang, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Cut the meat. Lay an egg half flat-side-down on a slice of Spam and trace around it with a knife to cut an egg-shaped piece. Repeat until you have 6 pieces.
- Glaze. Pan-fry the Spam pieces until they darken on each side, then add the teriyaki sauce and cook until it reduces into a glaze.
- Fill. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites and top each with a glazed Spam piece.
- Finish. Wrap a thin strip of nori around the center, sprinkle furikake on top, and finish with chopped scallion. Serve right away.
Notes
- Boil 10 to 11 minutes then ice-bath the eggs for no gray ring and easy peeling.
- Press the yolk mix through a fine mesh sieve for an extra silky, pipeable filling.
- Let the teriyaki reduce into a sticky glaze on the Spam. Do not rush it.
- Assemble right before serving so the nori stays crisp.
- Adjust gochujang to taste. Start at 1 tsp if you are spice-shy.
