Edamame ideas

[SunshineDrummer]

I cooked edamame last night for the first time and its going on the list of "hey, I like this!!"

I did it simply, just boiled with a little salt. It was tasty, but I'm looking for other preparations if anyone would like to share. I thought of stirfrying it with a little soy & ginger but I wanted to see how we liked the taste of just the edamame before I started adding more flavors to it. We like it, so bring on the flavor! :jamguy:

Rich and I bought some a few weeks ago, and we forgot about it, and well yeah. :funny1:

So, I still haven't had it yet. Maybe next time we won't forget it's in the black hole of a fridge! :ravn:

[HoopsTer]

I only eat it boiled with salt as a snack! :)
So let me know if you find a killer recipe!

"Visualize Whirled Edamame" ....I like it..:lmao:

[Jersey Thug]

these two dips are similar to ones i've made in the past. both recipes are from myrecipes.com.

i also add them (shelled) to stir fries and salads. been curious about how an edamame falafel would be after falling in love with a friend's fava bean version, but i haven't tried that yet.

Those sound great!

[SunshineDrummer]

Ooooo, thanks Thuggie! Those both sound really tasty. Might try making the hummus since I think I already have all the ingredients.

I'm going to try stirfrying some with soy & ginger as well. Seems like it would be a good flavor combo.

[musicmomma]

i mixed some in with other veggies the other night and wow, they are SO yummy... they will be a pretty stable part of our regular menu planning now. :heart:

[Arglebargle]

I don't know, they taste just like baby lima beans to me.

Bag of frozen beans stirred to coat in a mxture of honey and wasabi with a little salt. Bake em on a cookie sheet. Yummy.
