In a medium bowl, soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Once softened, whisk it together with soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey until smooth and well combined.
Spread the seasoned cream cheese mixture evenly on the bottom of a serving platter or shallow dish to form the first layer of the dip.
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and finely dice it. Scatter the cucumber pieces evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top the cucumber layer with a layer of shredded carrots, followed by chopped green onions for added freshness and color.
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts evenly over the dip, adding a salty, crunchy texture.
Toast the sesame seeds lightly in a dry pan over low heat, stirring constantly, until they are golden and aromatic (about 2 minutes). Let them cool slightly before sprinkling them over the dip.
Finish off by scattering the crispy chow mein noodles on top for an extra crunch.
Serve immediately with wonton chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
