Sesame Cream Cheese Dip

By Emily

Another Easy Appetizer - it requires about 5 minutes prep time!  This is one I've had at my mother-in-law's as well as at a few other get-together's, and I always like it, so here's the "recipe" combining a few different versions of this simple appetizer.

Feeds 2-4 unless you have other appetizers

You'll Need:
1 8oz pkg of Cream Cheese
1/2 c. Soy Sauce (maybe more depending on your bowl size) - I used Kikkoman Lite
1 pkg of Rice Crackers (not rice cakes!)
prepared Wasabi (this comes in a tube or maybe you have some packets in the fridge from your last sushi take-out)
2 tsp Sesame Seeds

To Make: 

Toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until they are slightly browned and toasty looking.  Set aside to cool.

Unwrap cream cheese and set the block of cream cheese on a decorative plate (NOT a flat plate, because you are going to "float" the cream cheese in a pool of soy sauce).

Arrange the wasabi on top of the cream cheese, and use a desired amount.  I used about 2 tsp worth.  You can get creative with your design!

Pour soy sauce over the cream cheese until about 1/2 way up the sides of your cream cheese block.  Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over block of cream cheese.

Cover and fridge until ready to use.  Serve with rice crackers.

The Kikkoman website has a version of this posted as well.
