Ingredients You’ll Need

Every ingredient in this Green Curry Deviled Eggs Recipe plays a part in building layers of flavor and texture that work beautifully together. It’s about balancing spicy, tangy, creamy, and crunchy elements — and I’m here to walk you through what to look for when selecting these staples.

• Unrefined virgin coconut oil: I go for virgin coconut oil for its natural coconut aroma which complements the curry flavors perfectly.
• Fresh cilantro leaves: Choose vibrant, fragrant cilantro for that fresh herbal pop.
• Scallions: Use fresh, crisp scallions from a medium bunch—both the green and white parts add depth.
• Garlic cloves: Fresh garlic gives that sharp, bold flavor—don’t rely on powder for this recipe.
• Green curry paste: Mae Ploy is my go-to brand, but any quality green curry paste will work just fine.
• Hard-cooked eggs: Fresh eggs are easier to peel and hold better — I have a trick for perfect peeling coming up.
• Fresh lime juice: Real lime juice is key for brightness — bottled just won’t cut it.
• Fish sauce: Just a splash adds umami magic — don’t skip it unless you’re vegan.
• Puffed rice cereal: I like Arrowhead Mills brand, which adds a light, crispy crunch.
• Fresh ginger: Peeled and finely chopped for a subtle zing.
• Serrano chile: Thinly sliced for heat — you can adjust depending on your spice tolerance.
• Ground turmeric: Adds earthiness and color, balancing the curry’s flavors.
• Kosher salt: To taste — this helps bring all the flavors together nicely.

Variations

I love making this Green Curry Deviled Eggs Recipe my own by switching things up sometimes, and I encourage you to do the same! It’s such a versatile dish that you can play with heat, texture, and even dietary needs.

• Vegan Version: Swap the eggs for halved baby potatoes or avocado halves and use vegan fish sauce or soy sauce for umami.
• Mild Spice: Use less serrano chile or substitute with a milder pepper if you prefer a gentler heat level.
• Crunchy Toppings: Sometimes I replace puffed rice with toasted chopped peanuts or crispy fried shallots for a different texture punch.
• Herb Add-Ins: Fresh mint or Thai basil add a refreshing twist if you’re feeling adventurous.

How to Make Green Curry Deviled Eggs Recipe

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics and Curry Paste

Start by melting a tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat in a nonstick skillet. Toss in the finely chopped cilantro, scallions, and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the scallions have softened nicely—about 3 minutes. Then, add your green curry paste and keep stirring for another minute until that beautiful fragrant aroma fills your kitchen. This base is where your deviled eggs get their signature flavor burst.

Step 2: Prepare the Yolks and Blend the Filling

While that’s cooling, halve your hard-cooked eggs lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks, keeping the whites intact. Add those yolks to your food processor along with the lime juice and fish sauce, then pour in the melted coconut oil from the skillet. Blend everything until silky smooth—a couple minutes should do it. This step is key for a creamy filling that pipes or spoons perfectly back into the egg whites.

Step 3: Get That Crunchy Topping Ready

Chop the puffed rice into coarse crumbs—this is the fun textural surprise. Heat the remaining coconut oil in your skillet, then quickly cook the ginger and serrano chile until fragrant and sizzling (about a minute). Stir in turmeric, let it sizzle for a few seconds, then toss in your puffed rice crumbs to soak up that flavorful oil. Salt to taste, and you’re ready to top your eggs.

Step 4: Assemble and Serve

Spoon or pipe the curry yolk mixture evenly into each egg white half. Then press the crunchy puffed rice mixture on top of each egg to stick nicely. Serve these immediately to keep the topping crisp and your guests delighted.

How to Serve Green Curry Deviled Eggs Recipe

Garnishes

I love adding a tiny sprig of cilantro on top of each egg just before serving—it’s simple but adds freshness and visual appeal. Sometimes, I sprinkle a few toasted sesame seeds or finely sliced red chili threads if I want a little extra flair and crunch.

Side Dishes

These green curry deviled eggs pair beautifully with lighter Asian-inspired sides like cucumber salad dressed in rice vinegar, or a chilled glass noodle salad. They also shine alongside a scoop of jasmine rice or crunchy vegetable spring rolls for a complete appetizer spread.

Creative Ways to Present

For parties, I like to serve these deviled eggs on banana leaves or a rustic wooden platter sprinkled with extra chopped cilantro and serrano slices. Another fun trick is to serve them inside small bamboo steamers for an authentic touch that surprises and delights guests.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

I store any leftovers covered in an airtight container in the fridge, but wait to top the eggs with the puffed rice until right before serving again; otherwise, the texture gets soggy. The filling stays creamy and flavorful for up to two days.

Freezing

While I haven’t had great luck freezing the fully assembled eggs (the texture suffers), you can freeze the curry yolk filling by itself in an airtight container for up to one month. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before assembling fresh eggs.

Reheating

Because these are best served cold or at room temperature, I usually just let leftovers sit out for 10-15 minutes after pulling from the fridge. If you want to warm the filling a bit, you can microwave it gently in a bowl before refilling egg whites (don’t reheat the eggs themselves).
