Wasabi Cream Cheese Appetizer - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 (8 ounce) brick cream cheese (not softened)
2 teaspoons dried wasabi powder (more or less to taste, follow preparation instructions on the wasabi container)
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped green onion (to taste)
slivered fresh ginger (to garnish) (optional)
rice crackers, for serving
Preparation
-
Prepare wasabi paste, set aside. (Remember bottled wasabi sauce may be substituted).
Split cream cheese lengthwise into 3 slices.
Spread the wasabi paste on the 2 cut sides, adding more or less wasabi to your liking.
Layer the cream cheese slices to reform the brick (like a layer cake).
After layering the cream cheese, coat the sesame seeds all over the cream cheese.
Place wasabi cream cheese on a serving plate and pour the soy sauce around the brick.
Garnish with green onion, ginger slices and extra wasabi, if desired.
Serve with rice crackers.
