Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box of commercially sold Couscous (I use Trader Joe's)
1 frozen package of edamame, shelled (I use Trader Joe's)
Canned chicken or vegetable stock, per Couscous directions
3/4 cup Fresh or 1/3 cup dehydrated Shiitake Mushrooms
1 - 2 finely chopped shallots
1/3 cup Ochazuke Wakame (available in Asian section of most grocery stores) or use dried Wakame seaweed as substitute

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices to ensure the best flavor.
  • Rinse the edamame and couscous separately: This will remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cook the couscous according to the package instructions: Be sure to use the correct water-to-couscous ratio.
  • Add the edamame to the couscous during the last minute of cooking: This will prevent the edamame from becoming overcooked.
  • Season the couscous with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Serve the couscous warm or at room temperature: It can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course.
