I bought some frozen edamame (ed-uh-mah-may). This is what I found on www.edamame.com:
"Edamame is a green vegetable more commonly known as a soybean, harvested at the peak of ripening right before it reaches the "hardening" time. The word Edamame means "Beans on Branches," and it grows in clusters on bushy branches. To retain the freshness and its natural flavor, it is parboiled and quick-frozen. In East Asia, the soybean has been used for over two thousand years as a major source of protein. Edamame is consumed as a snack, a vegetable dish, used in soups or processed into sweets. As a snack, the pods are lightly boiled in salted water, and then the seeds are squeezed directly from the pods into the mouth with the fingers."
I might try boiling them in salt water first. Will have to look for more recipes. I bought a HUGE bag from Sam's Club. Hope we like them! I'll let you all know how they turn out!
Yes! Let me know about these!
ReplyDeleteI'll bring you a couple of servings. They come in individual bags that are frozen. You can microwave right in the bag. Then dry. Salt if you wish. Then, I added some spicy seasonings like chili powder, crushed red pepper, and garlic powder. You can pop them right out of the pod.
ReplyDeleteNext thing I'm planning on making with the edamame is a dip with the seeds in a blender. Recipe calls for sour cream, but I'll use plain vanilla yogurt; lime juice; garlic, etc. I'll have to find the recipe again. It suggests pita chips with it.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
