Edamame?

August 8, 2005

Okay, busy getting out of my rut - have bought frozen edamame. Any words of

wisdom, tips, recipes, whatever?

Best love, Pat

Hi Pat,

I love edamame. I just salt some water, bring it to a boil, dump in some

edamame, then, when the water returns to a boil, set a timer and boil for 5

minutes. Then I drain, salt, and eat (preferably with beer). I hold the

end of the pod, then strip out the two " peas " with my teeth.

Buy the frozen bags with the edamame that have already been shelled. Boil

with a bit of veg broth and add to hot dishes, cool them down and toss onto

salads or mix in with cold pasta salads or eat as snack.

I've noticed that the texture tends to come out mixed. They aren't all soft.

Some come out with a bit of a bite. Good either way.

Btw, what rut?

Unfortunately, all that was there was the kind in the shell or pod. But I

understand I can cook them in a little water, cool them in cold water, shell em

(whew - easier to buy em shelled if I can find them!) and *then* work with

them.

Thanks for the warning that they won't always be the same texture. I know it

won't be me but just the way the cookie crumbles.

Reporting back later,

Pat
