The Method
- 1
Prepare the spicy honey glaze: In a small saucepan, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until well combined and slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
- 2
Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
- 3
Add the Jersey cream curds to the hot wok and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become rubbery.
- 4
Pour the spicy honey glaze over the stir-fried cream curds and toss gently to coat evenly. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.
- 5
Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fried cream curds to a serving platter.
- 6
Garnish with toasted walnuts and sliced green onions.
- 7
Serve immediately as an appetizer.

Chef's Tips
For a richer flavor, you can add a small knob of butter to the spicy honey glaze.
If you don't have walnuts, other nuts like pecans or almonds can be used.
Serve with crusty bread or crackers for dipping into the glaze.
To toast the walnuts, bake them in a single layer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
