Deviled eggs with a Japanese twist, featuring a creamy miso yolk filling and a hint of sesame.
Place the eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 12-14 minutes.
Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
Gently peel the eggs and pat them dry.
Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks into a mixing bowl.
Add the white miso paste, Japanese mayonnaise, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar to the yolks. Mash with a fork or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add a pinch of salt or a bit more miso paste.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, thin strips of nori seaweed, and a pinch of shichimi togarashi (optional).
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

For a smoother yolk mixture, use a food processor or blender.
If you don't have Japanese mayonnaise, you can use regular mayonnaise but add a pinch of MSG or a dash of soy sauce to mimic the umami flavor.
If the yolk mixture is too thick, add a little bit of water or rice vinegar to thin it out.
Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
