edamame - Izumi

[DP]

I love these beans served when you sit down. Does anyone know how they are made?

You can get them frozen in our out of the pod - cook according to directions.

I have also seen them "fresh" at Costco in a package that also had instructions.

 

Fresh in quotes because they could be pre-cooked - I did not notice.

 

Both the frozen & the "fresh" are good IMHO. (I've tried many brands both organic & conventional.)

They're soybeans. Steam them, salt them, they're done. About as easy as boiling water.

steamed and salted. that's it. not even your local Crap Take Out place can ruin them unless they steam them too long. you can do it yourself at home very easily.

Izumi boils their edamame (I bet in heavily salted water), and then applies a generous amount of kosher salt (very coarsely ground) while they are still hot from boiling. This allows the salt to melt all around the pod. They are still warm from cooking, when they bring them to the table. The salt is the first ingredient you taste, before you eat the beans from the pod...delicious!

And like the Miso soup, they're complimentary at Izumi:) A couple of bowls of Edamame, a bowl of Miso soup, and a tuna roll or two, and I'm good to go:)

You can also get them at walmart by all the other nuts by the produce, the're also dry, very good snack.

We went through four or five bowls of them the last time we went to Izumi and I didn't think they were that good. :p :D
