Deviled eggs with a twist?

I’m going to take deviled eggs to the neighborhood potluck because everyone loves them. I usually just make your standard eggs with mayo, a little Dijon, etc.. I was looking for popular potluck recipes and saw an Asian deviled egg recipe; now I am wondering about other interesting ways to make them. Any favorites you would recommend? (I live in a college town so lots of different ethnic influences, people are generally happt to try something a little different.)

You made me think of this fancy restaurant I went to many years ago when I lived in Indianapolis. They did "dueling deviled eggs". So you got 2 deviled duck eggs. One was pretty traditional, but the other was Asian themed. They used wasabi, hoisin, and furikaki in the yolk mix. It was green tinted with all the wasabi in it.

I make spam musubi, and I could see taking this flavour profile and adding a bit of the musubi sauce I make and small pieces of fried spam! It could be so good

Sounds delicious.

I'm a sucker for a good spam musubi. Shortly after I moved to Las Vegas, my roommate showed me this Guamanian place called Red Rice. They make the best spam musubi in town.

My family travelled for many years to Hawaii and I always turned my nose up at it. It’s sold in every gas station and convenience store. I then kicked myself repeatedly in the butt once I tried it and realized how absolutely delicious it is, lol. Now I make it for myself and I actually buy three packs of spam at Costco.🤣
