03 - Gently peel the eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Scoop yolks into a mixing bowl and set whites aside.
04 - Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until very smooth. If desired, mix in sriracha, rice vinegar, or a pinch of sugar for extra flavor.
05 - Transfer yolk mixture to a piping bag or use a spoon to fill each egg white half evenly.
06 - In a small bowl, combine chili crisp or chili garlic oil, toasted sesame seeds, soy sauce, optional minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir well.
07 - Drizzle the spicy chili garlic topping over each deviled egg. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro or scallions. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
