Ingredient

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon hondashi (such as Ajinomoto)
  • 1/4 teaspoon alaea salt (Hawaiian red salt) or fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt, divided
  • 1 (8-ounce) package kamaboko (such as Okuhara) or imitation crab
  • Rectangular buttery crackers (such as Club), for serving
Direction
  1. Stir together cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a medium bowl until smooth. Stir in scallions, hondashi, alaea salt, and sea salt.
  2. Julienne kamaboko into 1 1/2-inch strips; fold into dip. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
