At work, we always have a 'holiday feast,' and everyone brings a dish to pass. A co-worker made this dip, and it went over so well that I adopted it as my own.—Dawn Schutte, Sheboygan, Wisconsin

Tip

Cutting Green Onions

I recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia

I'm not able to find sesame rice crackers. What would be a good substitute?

Just made for a neighborhood get together and everyone loved it! Sesame oil adds a fabulous aroma to a cold dip...yum! I am thinking about making it without the cream cheese and using it as a sesame chicken salad topping over greens to create a tasty salad with an asian kick.

When I make taco dip the cream cheese layer is a little too thick also. I just thin it out with a little milk and it spreads and dips just fine. I plan to make this recipe for a graduation party.

Love this recipe!!! Made it for my bunco group and it got rave reviews with many requesting the recipe. Note that it does make a lot! I used a fairly large platter and the 3 packages of cream cheese still made a very thick first layer (and firm since it was refrigerated), to the point it was a bit challenging to "dip" or dish out, even with a small spreading knife. Switching to whipped cream cheese as suggested by "The Wine Fairy" might be a good alternative? Using only 2 cream cheese packages and a very large platter (like SandiJ24 suggested) is another thought. Don't let this deter you from making this though...it is outstanding and the balance of flavors is wonderful!

I used sweet chili sauce instead of the sweet and sour. It adds a little kick!

I have a serious problem with the recipe....I can't stop eating it! Oh so very, very yummy! And, I do think the addition of peanut sauce would make this even better.

Really good-people liked it. If I make it again though, I will double the soy/sesame oil maridnade, and I will put the chopped peanuts on the top after I chill it for the two hours. I also recommend as big as of a serving platter as you can. Mine was about 13X9 and the dip got a bit thick.

Tasted OK but I would suggest dicing the chicken as the shredded "look" was not very appealing. Reducing the amount of sesame oil might allow the other flavors to come forward.

Oh my goodness ... this dip is to die for. I took this to a Christmas dinner party last weekend and EVERYBODY loved it. Since there were only 6 of us I made half the recipe and it was more than plenty. I'll be making this again very soon.

The best dip! Got rave reviews both times I made it. I only used 2 cream cheese and served on a 15"x15" platter.

This recipe is definitely a winner! A few changes that I would make:

1. I would use whipped cream cheese instead of regular.

2. I thought the sweet and sour sauce needed a kick, so I mixed some peanut sauce, some teriyaki sauce, a little soy sauce, garlic and a little sesame oil into it.

This is a great recipe for those who aren't into measuring--you can't really mess it up so have fun with it!

There were 2 different sweet and sour sauces at the store. One is more a red color and one is more a yellow/orange color. Not sure which one to use???

I had just baked a duck the night prior, so I used the meat from it as a substitute, and also used the 1/3 fat cream cheese. I took it to our neighborhood superbowl party and it was a hit! The flavors are excellent together.

This dip was a real hit! Very tasty. A garlic lover, I would add more garlic. Otherwise outstanding.

This was a big hit! All the flavors work together very well. Definitely serve it with the rice crackers. I will be making this for a lot more parties to come!
