In Japan, bars and restaurants will cure blocks of cream cheese in a mixture of miso and mirin. The result is a firmer version of cream cheese with rich umami and amped up salt content. It's very addictive, especially with a whiskey highball. Christine Lau of New York City, who happens to be a pal of mine, fused this bar snack with the classic bagel pairings of New York all in one little bowl. I talked to Christine about how this would be a perfect large-format spread for an eggless brunch and she told me to "go for it!" So here we are. If you are in New York, be sure to hunt down her new restaurant, Kimika.
