Red Curry Deviled Eggs
Servings: 12 bites
Deviled eggs are objectively one of the best finger foods at a party and these make a great thing even better with the help of Thai red curry paste. These red curry deviled eggs are the perfect complex bite, packed with savory, sweet, tangy, and umami flavors. This recipe can easily be doubled for a crowd.If you use red cabbage for plating like I do, note that it will dye your eggs blue. I don't mind this, but if you don't find that appetizing, green cabbage works just as well!
