Edamame recipe trade

[Guest guest]

I love Edamame! I first had them at our favorite

Japanse Restaurant. Then I found this one. Ok you

have to wait for spinach, but I bet swiss chard would

do for a tempary replacement! it is so good and not

too time consuming.

 

Edamame Dumplings:

2 cups edamames (may substitute English peas), reserve

1/4 cup, for garnish

1 cup tightly packed spinach leaves

1/4 cup cold, chopped butter

1/2 tablespoon truffle oil ( I used olive, I cannot

afford truffle anything)

2 tablespoons chopped chives

Salt and black pepper

1 package thin, square wonton skins

Egg wash (1 egg lightly beaten with 1/4 cup cold

water)

 

In a pot of salted water, boil the edamames until

soft, about 15 minutes. During the last 2 minutes, add

the spinach, to wilt.

 

Strain well and add to a food processor. Puree until

smooth. Add the butter and only pulse. You want small

pieces of butter in the mousse.

 

Fold in truffle oil and chives, and season. Place in

refrigerator until chilled through.

 

To make the dumplings, lay out 4 wonton skins at a

time, and spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of mousse on

each. Brush on egg wash on the edges and fold in half

to form a triangle. Fold left tip of triangle

underneath to attach to right tip (like a tortellini).

Repeat and make 24 dumplings total. Reserve in the

refrigerator.

 

In a large pot of boiling, lightly salted water, add

dumplings and cook for 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

 

Yield: 8 servings

Prep Time: 40 minutes

Ming, from East Meets West cooking show, used this

dumping in his broth and served it. However we did

not. solo it was great!!

1. Use more salt in water to cook.

2. If made ahead as directed, use spray oil on cookie

sheet. VERY sticky. Also something on serving dish,

perhaps a bit of the water, use slotted spoon.

3. Sweet Chili sauce for dipping is terific!

4. Ok to double recipe.

 

REALLY great!!!
