RE: A new food item to me... Edamamie (green soybeans)

[Guest guest]

I sauteed them with corn & ____ whatever in place of lima beans to make a sort

of what's that stuff called?? succotash. it worked well.

I just found about Edamamie. A couple of friends mentioned to me the other

day about fresh and frozen green soybeans that they either steam or lightly

stir fry in butter and a touch of salt. Can anyone shed some more info on

this.

 

It took a lot of phone calls but I was able to find a grocery store here in

Baton Rouge that handled the frozen Edamamie both in pods and shelled. Any

simple ways to use them in recipes would be great to know.

You can throw them in a bean, or veggie soup. I used to before I discovered

my sensitivity to soy.

I put Edamamie in legume and vegetable stews just as you would peas and carrots.

Throw them in minestrone soup, for example. My local Coop in Arcata, CA carries

them and has for many years.

Tom, I boil them for 2 - 3 minutes, per package directions. There is no

need to add butter or other fat. We're slimming down here!

 

They are a common appetizer in Japanese and sushi restaurants.
