Making Cream Cheese Dip

Blend with a fork until the soy sauce and sesame seeds are fully incorporated.

Mixing Cream Cheese Dip

Once the soy sauce is fully incorporated, the cream cheese will only be lightly tinted with the soy sauce. This still needs some mixing.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

Serving

To serve, place the dip in a serving dish, sprinkle with a few sesame seeds, and top with a couple of parsley leaves. Use it as a topping for your favorite bread or crackers
