Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Shawn - I get the edamame beans in pods and give them a steam. I sprinkle them with a good salt & that's it. They make a great appetizer or snack, just provide a place for the empty pods. They are a fav at our house & I love that it is a veggie not a chip & the kids still eat 'em. I'd love to know of any other recipes too... m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Hi everyone, I'm new " again " to the list (have had a move and computer problems for a while), I wanted to respond to the edamame questions. The kids and I eat frozen edemame for snacks. I wanted to get away from eating sweet or salty foods while watching TV and now I love having a cup full of frozen edemame to munch on! No, I don't thaw them, I just eat them frozen. The kids love them too, I just put some in a paper cup and they munch on that instead of chips. But the best edemame I've ever eaten came fresh from the farmer's market. They were freshly picked from the fields. I boiled them in their shells in salted water for 3-5 mins, squeezed them out of the pods, added a little butter and they were to die for.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 You need to boil them for appoximately 5 minutes and rinse them in cold water afterwards. You can then eat them as such or add them to a dish or salad (hot or cold). If they are in shells you need boil the, rinse them and then de-shell them (I don't buy them that way anymore, lol). I've boiled two bags (and just got another bag recently) and both times the came out a bit soft and firm. I'm not sure if that's how the texture is suppose to be but I think they taste good.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 The organic restaurant here has them already shelled and they serve a little cup of them with every meal, like chips but better. I watch them fill a big cup of them, and run the hot water out of the coffee pot on them. *lol* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I guess you could use Edamame in a recipe, but the standard way to have them is to lightly boil them in salt water, still in the pod. You kind of pull them from the pod with your teeth. Edamame that way is a common appetizer in Japanese and sushi restaurants. The loose beans just don't taste the same - so maybe use those in recipes. from Maida Citizens for Pets in Condos, http://www.petsincondos.org South Florida Vegetarian Events, http://www.soflavegevents.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Okayyyyy!!! Shall report back to the group. (Glad I got the ones in the pods from what you say - not that I had a choice - and I see my Asian grocer also has them, with japanese writing on the pack, in the pod.)

I think we're both hooked on them now and we're going to go back and stock up the freezer - a whole freezer full of edamame! Imagine! Thanks a bunch for the reassurance - Best, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Just pop the contents of the bag into salted boiling water, boil for 3 minutes and drain.... xoxoRobyn I found some frozen edamame in the local whole food shop. Does anyone have any experience of cooking with it? Any tips? I suspect that they could be used like broad beans, but then I already have a packet of them unopened on the too-intimidated-them unopened on the too-intimidated TIA Christie Why is there always money for war, but none for education? 01.20.09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 These were already shelled - actually I was surprised to find them at all over here in Scotland. I shall be bold and cook some for dinner tomorrow. Thanks - I really must be less of a feartie, LOL.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I looked up edamame on google to see what it was and it says that this is an immature soybean that is boiled and when eaten the beans are popped out and the pods are discarded. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edamame Barb , " christie_0131 " <christie0131 wrote: > > All of the frozen, or even fresh, edamame that I have bought here in > Scotland are already shelled, so I cannot answer your question. > > I spent some time in Sudbury back in the early 70s.
