Yield 38

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup wasabi peas
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 ½ tablespoons snipped chives
1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Grind wasabi peas in a food processor to pebble and sand texture (or place peas in a 1-quart freezer bag and crush them with a rolling pin). Place in a shallow pan.
  • Mix cream cheese, chives, soy and pepper with a fork until well-blended. (Peas and cream cheese mixture can be covered and refrigerated for 2 days.)
  • About 30 minutes before serving, use a 1 tsp. measuring spoon to drop cheese mixture into the pan of wasabi peas; roll into balls, coating each with ground peas. Place on a serving platter.

Overall, I thought these cheese balls were pretty good. They were easy to make and had a nice flavor. However, I think I would have liked them more if they had been a little bit crispier.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheese balls didn't turn out crispy. They were still tasty, but not what I was expecting.

I used a different type of cheese and they still turned out great. I think this recipe is very versatile.

These cheese balls are the perfect party appetizer. They're easy to make ahead of time and they always disappear quickly.

I'm not usually a fan of cheese balls, but these were really good! The panko breadcrumbs gave them a great crunch.

The wasabi flavor is subtle but definitely there. It adds a nice kick without being overpowering.
