# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The creamy yolk filling balances perfectly with that fiery chili garlic crunch
  • They come together in under 30 minutes but look like you put in way more effort
  • You can make everything ahead and assemble right before guests arrive
02 -
  • Fresh eggs are actually harder to peel, so use eggs that have been in your fridge for at least a week
  • The chili garlic topping will start to get soggy after about an hour, so add it right before serving
  • If you want to make these ahead, keep the filling, egg whites, and topping all separate until guests arrive
03 -
  • A damp paper towel wiped over each peeled egg removes any stray shell fragments
  • Toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat, shaking constantly until fragrant
