Teriyaki Edamame Food

PASSPORT TO JAPAN: EDAMAME, GYOZA, RICE AND TERIYAKI BEEF

Steps:

• Place 2 pots of water on to boil: 1 pasta pot with a few inches of water in it, 1 medium sauce pan with 1 1/2 cups of water in it. Cover both pots and bring all the water to a boil.
• When the smaller pot of water comes to a boil, stir in rice and return water to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Place a colander over the pot and add the edamame to it. Place the pot cover over the edamame nesting it in the colander. Steam the edamame 5 minutes, then remove them to 2 small bowls, salt them and cover bowls with plastic or foil to keep warm. Set colander aside and return pot lid to rice, stirring rice before replacing the lid.
• While the edamame are steaming, before removing them to the bowls, you have a pocket of time to work with. Add 1/2 cup, a couple of handfuls of Napa cabbage to the second pot of water. Blanch the shredded cabbage 1 minute and remove with a spider or tongs to paper towels to drain and cool. Chop shredded blanched cabbage. Combine meat, chopped salad shrimp, sake, ginger, 1 scallion, 1 tablespoon tamari, sesame oil, black pepper and cooled, chopped cabbage in a bowl. Place 2 teaspoons of filling on each won ton wrapper. Wet your fingertips to help seal won ton wrappers. The gyoza should look like small half moons.
• Place 1 or 2 Napa cabbage leaves into the bottom of the colander. The leaves will prevent your dumplings from sticking to the surface of colander. Arrange dumplings on Napa leaf in colander and steam over second larger pot of simmering water. Place large pot lid over the colander to trap the steam. Dumplings need to steam 10 to 12 minutes. While you are working on this, go back and forth with the edamame as necessary per above directions.
• While dumplings work, slice the fillet steaks thinly across the grain. Toss with seasoning and teriyaki or tamari and sherry. Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Add oil and the meat and stir-fry. When meat browns at edges, add scallions and cook 2 minutes more, stirring frequently.
• Use remaining raw shredded Napa cabbage as a bed to serve your dumplings on. Plate all of your items on little dishes and in small bowls.
• Mix dipping sauce of tamari, mustard and vinegar for the gyoza and set out alongside dumplings.
• Warm or cold sake, leftover from cooking, is the perfect beverage and chilled navel oranges or tangerines make a refreshing end to this meal.

EDAMAME-RICE SALAD WITH TERIYAKI TUNA

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the cooked rice with 1/4 cup of water. Cover and cook until the rice absorbs the water and is cooked through.
• In a large bowl, combine rice, edamame, carrots, scallions, cilantro, sesame oil, and mustard. Stir to combine.
• Place the tuna fillets on a plate and pour teriyaki sauce on top. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.
• Arrange red lettuce or radicchio leaves on individual plates. Spoon edamame-rice salad over top or inside radicchio leaf. Top each with tuna fillets and serve.

TERIYAKI EDAMAME

Steps:

• Combine teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar and dark brown sugar. Set aside.

• Stirring often, cook until the edamame is thawed, and almost all of the water evaporated (about 3 minutes).
• Add the teriyaki mixture and bring to a boil.
• Cook over high heat until mixture is thick and syrupy (about 3 minutes).
• Toss with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN & EDAMAME RICE BOWLS

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.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.
