Review Body: I served this spread as the preappetizer in a 6 course Asian meal for Valentine's Day. I did doctor it up a bit. I used red miso because I like the bold, almost cheesy flavor it imparts. I subbed wasabi for the jalapeno. I wanted to do a riff on Wasabi peas and this was the perfect dish to experiment with. Next time, I would kick the ginger up a notch, but that's my only complaint. So good, so fast, so easy and one of my new favorite dips. It would pair very well with Salmon - and the color contrast would be lovely.
