Sauteed Edamame Food

5-MINUTE SHELLED EDAMAME

Steps:

• Rinse the frozen edamame under warm water in a strainer, then shake off excess liquid.
• Smash and peel the garlic cloves.
• Add the toasted sesame oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the smashed garlic cloves and edamame and cook for 2 minutes until warmed through but still bright green.
• Add the soy sauce and stir until evaporated, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the salt. Discard the garlic cloves. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

FLANK STEAK WITH SAUTEED EDAMAME AND WASABI-MUSTARD DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add 3 cups Arborio rice. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Allow rice to cool and reserve it for meals later in the week.
• While rice is cooking, coat a large stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat to preheat. Season both sides of flank steak with salt, black pepper and mesquite seasoning. Place flank steak on hot grill along with the red pepper rounds. Cook the steak 3 to 5 minutes per side, until almost cooked through but still slightly pink. Cook the red peppers until slightly charred. Remove and set aside. Remove steak from grill pan and let rest 10 minutes before slicing crosswise on a diagonal into 1/2-inch thick slices.
• Meanwhile, heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute. Add edamame and soy sauce and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
• In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, oil, mustard, and wasabi paste.
• Arrange flank steak slices and red pepper rounds on a serving platter. Top with half of the sauteed edamame (reserve remaining edamame for Edamame-Rice Salad with Teriyaki Tuna). Spoon wasabi dressing over edamame and steak. Serve with 2 cups of the rice. Reserve remaining rice for Asparagus-Wild Mushroom Risotto with Parmesan and Edamame-Rice Salad with Teriyaki Tuna.

GARLIC TERIYAKI EDAMAME

Steps:

• Bring the water and garlic to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Stir in the edamame, and cook until the edamame are hot, and the liquid has nearly evaporated, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-high and stir in the teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir constantly until the sauce has thickened and coats the edamame, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.

EDAMAME IN THE SHELL

Steps:

• To boil: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Add the edamame, return to a boil and cook until bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain. To microwave: Put the edamame in a microwave-safe dish with ¼ cup water and a pinch of salt, cover partly and microwave on high until bright green, 1 to 5 minutes, depending on your microwave power.
• Sprinkle with a teaspoon of salt and a little or a lot of black pepper. Toss and serve hot, warm or chilled with an empty bowl on the side for 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.

SAUTEED CORN AND EDAMAME

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add shallots and saute until golden, 2 minutes.
• Add edamame, corn, salt, and pepper and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are heated through and browned in places, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat; stir in basil and remaining tablespoon oil and serve.

EDAMAME AND SAUTEED VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in large pot (preferably nonstick) over high heat. Add next 6 ingredients; sauté until vegetables are deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer 1 cup sautéed vegetables to cutting board; chop vegetables and reserve. Add 6 cups broth, parsley and thyme to pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until remaining vegetables in pot are very tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
• Working in batches, puree vegetable-broth mixture in blender. Transfer to strainer set over bowl. Press on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids in strainer. Return liquid and reserved chopped vegetables to pot. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Bring soup to boil, thinning with more vegetable broth if necessary. Add pasta; reduce heat to medium and cook until pasta is tender, about 10 minutes. Add edamame; simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes longer. Ladle soup into bowls; top with cheese.
