Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons scallions (finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 0.5 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 sheet plastic wrap

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Step 2

Spread out a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Transfer the cream cheese mixture onto the center of the plastic wrap.

Step 3

Using the plastic wrap, shape the cream cheese mixture into a log approximately 6-8 inches in length. Wrap the log tightly in the plastic wrap and twist the ends to secure it.

Step 4

Refrigerate the wrapped cream cheese log for at least 1 hour, or until it is firm and easy to handle.

Step 5

Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool completely.

Step 6

Once the cream cheese log is firm, unwrap it and roll it gently in the toasted sesame seeds, ensuring the seeds evenly coat the entire surface.

Step 7

Sprinkle the finely chopped scallions over the log, pressing them gently to adhere.

Step 8

Transfer the finished cream cheese log onto a serving platter. Serve with a selection of crackers, fresh vegetables, or toasted baguette slices.
