Wasabi deviled eggs with jalapeños

12 hard boiled eggs

¼ cup wasabi mayonnaise

¼ cup regular mayonnaise

4 scallions finely chopped

1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 jalepeno thinly sliced

Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and put them in a bowl. Reserve whites on a platter. Combine the yolks with mayonnaises, scallions, sesame oil and vinegar. Mash with a fork or use a hand mixer to whip yolks. Taste the yolks and season with salt if necessary (I usually find the mayonnaise makes the yolks salty enough). Fill the egg white halves with the yolk filling either with two spoons or a piping bag. Garnish each egg half with a slice of jalepeno.
