Asian Cream Cheese Spread Recipes

CREAMY WASABI SPREAD

Sesame seeds create an attractive coating for this easy cracker spread. Be sure to watch when you're toasting them; they burn easily. You'll find rice crackers in the ethnic food aisle. You can use any flavor, but the wasabi ones are very tasty. -Tammie Balon, Boyce, Virginia

Steps:

In small bowl, mix topping ingredients. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours.
Meanwhile, heat oven to 400°F. Cut each wonton skin in half into two triangles. On 2 large ungreased cookie sheets, arrange wonton skins in single layer. Spray wontons with cooking spray. Bake about 6 minutes or until crisp; cool.
In 1-quart saucepan, mix brown sugar and cornstarch. Gradually beat in remaining sauce ingredients with wire whisk. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with wire whisk, until thick. Cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
