kam said:Back in the New Product threads, it was suggested to spread one of the suaces over a block of cream cheese and serve with crackers.
I have never done this, but I know there are many sauces out there that people do this with.
I have guests coming over Sat and would like to try this (if my SAT or Supply order is delivered...please please get here!!).
Is it Ginger Wasabi or the Pineapple one that would be good to serve over the cream cheese?
raebates said:Frankly, I think either would be good.
chefann said:I agree- either would be good, but the spring video specifically suggests the pineapple.
ChefPaulaB said:I do this with my homemade Jalapeno Jelly and it's always a huge hit! Just make sure that you have sturdy crackers... My new favorite ones for this are the Keebler - TownHouse FlipSides Pretzel Crackers... they are really good and they don't break when you're trying to spread the cream cheese & sauce on it.
kam said:Thanks! Then I think I will cut the block of Cream Cheese in half and spread one on each half!
I can't believe I have never served or had anything like this. Good to know about the crackers.
(I wonder how it would taste on Saltines. I LOVE just spreading cream cheese on Saltines! I can't tell you how many times that's been my dinner!)
The Ginger-Wasabi Sauce typically requires fresh ginger, wasabi paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey or sugar for sweetness. You can adjust the quantities based on your taste preferences.
This sauce is versatile and can be used as a marinade for meats, a dressing for salads, or a dipping sauce for sushi and vegetables. It's great for adding a spicy kick to various dishes.
Yes, you can prepare the Ginger-Wasabi Sauce ahead of time. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just give it a good stir before using, as the ingredients may separate.
The sauce can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free soy sauce or tamari instead of regular soy sauce. Always check the labels of your ingredients to ensure they meet your dietary needs.
If you can't find wasabi, you can use horseradish as a substitute, although it will have a different flavor profile. You can also use a small amount of mustard mixed with a bit of green food coloring to mimic the color and some of the heat.
