Time 25m

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.

I've never made cheese balls before, but this recipe was so easy to follow. I'm definitely going to make these again.

These cheese balls are a great way to use up leftover cheese. I always have a bunch of cheese in my fridge that I don't know what to do with, so these cheese balls are a lifesaver.

I'm not a big fan of wasabi, but I really liked these cheese balls. The wasabi flavor is very mild and it doesn't overpower the other flavors.

I love the combination of flavors in these cheese balls. The wasabi adds a nice touch of spice, while the cheese and bread crumbs provide a creamy and crunchy texture.

I've made these cheese balls several times and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The wasabi gives them a nice kick without being too overpowering.
