asian style deviled egg

INGREDIENTS
6 eggs, hard-boiled, cooled and peeled
4 tbsp mayonnaise
juice and zest of 1 lime
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 tsp soy sauce
freshly-ground black pepper
1 tsp (or more to taste) Asian chili sauce (like Sriracha or sambal)
2 scallions, sliced, divided (reserve a few slices for garnish)
1 clove garlic, smashed
additional optional garnishes: chopped cilantro  leaves and  chilli powder

DIRECTIONS

1. Slice the cooled, peeled eggs in half lengthwise, and gently pop the yolks into a food processor or blender.
2. Add the remaining ingredients (except for the zest and any optional garnishes you choose to use). Blend until smooth.
3. To fill the empty egg white halves, either use a spoon to carefully fill each one, or scrape the yolk mixture into a plastic baggie (or pastry bag), snip a 1/2" hole at the bottom, and pipe the mixture decoratively into each egg white.
4. Serve topped delicately with cilantros and more chili flakes.
