So fresh and creamy, this Asian-inspired dip is bursting with garlic, red bell pepper, gingery spices, and a subtle hint of brown sugar sweetness. Just add mayo and sour cream and serve with fresh veggies or chips.

But you know what? That’s just for starters. From dips to dinners, here are nine more ways to mix it up:

So fresh, colorful and crunchy, it’s loaded with chunks of chicken, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, sweet bell peppers and chopped peanuts – all piled high on a layer of creamy-spicy goodness. Serve it with hearty crackers (my pick: Townhouse Flatbread Crisps – Sea Salt & Olive Oil). SERIOUSLY. SO. GOOD.

6. Asian Garlic Meatloaf. Have an Instant Pot? Stir up this hearty home-style meatloaf, ready in half the time. (And if you don’t own a pressure cooker, no worries. Let it cook low and slow for 6 hours in your slow cooker.)
