Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- 2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
- 0.25 cup cucumber, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and fill it with water until the eggs are completely submerged. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for exactly 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha (if using) until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the chopped eggs and gently mix until the eggs are evenly coated.
Fold in the chopped green onion, diced cucumber, and cilantro (if using). Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Transfer the egg salad to a serving dish and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Enjoy on its own, in lettuce wraps, or as a topping for low-carb crackers!
