                    Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                8 ounces cream cheese, cold  |  
                                                1 cup (8 ounces) white miso  |  
                                                assorted crudités, rice crackers and shichimi togarashi (a japanese chile-spice blend), for serving  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Tightly wrap the cream cheese in a 12-by-8-inch piece of cheesecloth. 2. Lay a 12-inch piece of plastic wrap on a work surface. Using slightly wet hands, spread 1/4 cup of the miso into a rectangle that's roughly the size of the cream cheese. Set the cheesecloth-wrapped cream cheese on top of the miso; spread the remaining 3/4 cup of miso all over the top and sides. Wrap in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 days. 3. Unwrap the cream cheese; discard the plastic wrap and cheesecloth. The spread can be served sliced or whipped, with crudités, rice crackers and shichimi togarashi.                              |
