How to cook: Edamame

Jane 27 Feb , 2017

I got a bag of fresh edamame last month from @myhomegrownorganics and I was so excited to cook them. My very first bag of fresh edamame 😛

Hooray for a bag of fresh edamame 🙂

But, first, I had this whole batch boiled and slit them out from their pods. It took me quite some time to take them all out, but it was relaxing to do so, actually haha…

Don’t the look delish? 🙂

And then, I had them stored in the fridge so I can experiment a few batches with different recipes I found online. I got to tweak some a bit to my personal preference:

Soy Edamame

First up, SOY EDAMAME.

saute fried garlic in sesame oil
add soy sauce and sugar
mix in cooked edamame
salt and pepper to taste

Buttered Edamame

Now, this, I love. Well, who doesn’t like butter? Introducing BUTTERED EDAMAME.

saute freshly chopped garlic in butter
mix in cooked edamame
add soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Cheesy Edamame

And, lastly, CHEESY EDAMAME.

mix salt and pepper into cooked edamame
mix in your favorite grated cheese
top it off with another generous layer of cheese
put in oven for a few minutes, depending on the size of the bowl

That’s it! I just used ingredients that I readily had at home, but I am looking forward to making more interesting ones when I have more time. How about you? Do you have recipes to share?
