IZAKAYA STYLE JAPANESE EDAMAME - SOY BEANS IN POD



Izakaya Style Japanese Edamame - Soy Beans in Pod image

This is so simple, I debated whether to submit this here, but it's something we enjoy with beer, sake, or good ol' soju. There are probably much better recipes out there than this, but this one works for us for now without compromising heart healthy needs versus salt and oil. Izakaya is a Japanese style pub and this is typical of something they would pull out while you are waiting for other orders. You can add anything to this and let your imagination fly! You can add miso, kochujang, tobandjan (hot red chile paste - not Indonesian or Malay), chopped kimchi, etc.

Time 10m

Yield 1 pound, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sake
1 tablespoon mirin
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
salt, to your taste

Steps:

  • Boil 6 cups of water and add 1/2 tsp salt in a medium sized saucepan. Add edamame, cover and cook for 6 minutes. Drain and wash in cold water.

Tips:

  • Choosing fresh edamame is the key to a successful szechuan edamame recipe. Look for edamame pods that are bright green, plump, and free of blemishes. Avoid any pods that are yellow, wilted, or have brown spots.
  • If you're using frozen edamame, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking. The best way to do this is to place the frozen edamame in a colander in the sink and run cold water over it for a few minutes.
  • To make sure your szechuan edamame is flavorful and spicy, use a good quality szechuan peppercorn. These peppercorns can be found at most Asian grocery stores.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of chili peppers in the recipe based on your own heat preference. If you like things extra spicy, add more chili peppers. If you prefer a milder dish, use less.
  • Serve szechuan edamame as an appetizer or snack. It's also a great side dish for Asian-inspired meals.

Conclusion:

Szechuan edamame is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. With its spicy and flavorful sauce, it's sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
