How To Make Edamame Food

EDAMAME HUMMUS

Steps:

• Boil the beans in salted water for 4 to 5 minutes, or microwave, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes.
• In a food processor, puree the edamame, tahini, water, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt, cumin, and coriander until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and mix until absorbed.
• Transfer to a small bowl, stir in the parsley and drizzle with remaining oil. Serve with the suggested vegetables, or refrigerate, covered, up to 1 day.

EDAMAME (COOKED FRESH SOYBEANS)

Steps:

• Separate the pods from the stalks. Place bean pods in a large bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt, rub vigorously, and let stand 15 minutes. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil, add the beans and boil over high heat for 5 to 6 minutes. (For a firmer bean, decrease the cooking time.) Don't cover the pot or the beans will lose their bright green color. When ready, drain beans and serve hot or at room temperature. To eat as finger food, serve the beans in baskets or bowls. Squeeze the pods with your fingers to press the beans into your mouth and discard the pods.

CRISPY EDAMAME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the edamame into a colander and rinse under cold water to thaw. Drain.
• Spread the edamame beans into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle cheese over the top and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is crispy and golden, about 15 minutes.

ANGRY EDAMAME

Steps:

• Prepare edamame according to package directions.
• Set aside.
• Heat a skillet over medium high heat.
• Add the garlic and stir quickly for 1 minute.
• Add the remaining ingredients whisking well.
• Toss in cooked, well drained edamame stirring to coat.
• Serve.

ROASTED EDAMAME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In small bowl, stir together oil, basil, chili powder, onion salt, cumin, paprika and black pepper.
• Drizzle mixture over soybeans and toss to coat well.
• Arrange beans in a single layer in a shallow baking dish.
• Roast, uncovered, for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once, until soybeans begin to brown.
• Serve hot as a vegetable side dish or cooled as a snack.
• Refrigerate any leftovers.
