Edamame

Recipe #40290 | 10 min | 5 min prep | add private note

One of my favorite annual treats from my CSA is Edamame, a fresh soybean that is a popular snack in Japan. Did you know that soybeans actually enrich the soil they are grown in? They enrich the body that eats them, too!

1 batch, your choice of size (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • edamame, as much as you would like to prepare (I use fresh, but frozen is easier to find and works well)
  • salt

Directions

  1. 1
    If using fresh, strip all of the pods off of your soybean bunch and boil them whole in salted water for 5 minutes.
  2. 2
    (Start timing once the water returns to a boil) Drain the pods, liberally salt them, and then slip the seeds out of the pods directly into your mouth.
  3. 3
    Have a discard bowl handy for the shells.
  4. 4
    You may never want to eat potato chips again!

This is very nice! I used 1 pound frozen edamame. I added some garlic powder. This dish is ridiculously simple, very tasty and healthy. Thanks for posting.

    I eat edamame all the time, and I discovered another great version at a bar in Hawaii. They add crushed garlic cloves to the salted water. Yum!!!

    These are my new replacement for chips and nuts. By the way, if you cook them for a long time, they are different tasting but really good. I accidently boiled them for about an hour once and I liked them just as much. Soybeans are found in several areas of the grocery store. They can be pre-cooked ready to eat in the pre-made salad section, or in the vegetable aisle or in the Freezer section.
