Well, summer is here so I thought I would prepare one of my favorite summer dishes - edamame salad.
When you picture edamame, you probably see a bowl of boiled beans still in their shells sprinkled with some salt - the quintissential Japanese beer snack. But edamame are too good to just eat as an occasional snack. They're full of goodness - protein, iron, fibre and lots more, so I tend eat them on a regular basis in various dishes.
When it comes to salads, I like mine to be quite punchy with lots of crunch and flavour and this one is no exception. Along with a portion of edamame, you get some onion (soaked in water to draw out the tartness), pepper and green beans.
For a flavoursome dressing, I just mix up some soy sauce, sesame paste, a little vinegar and veg oil - this makes for quite a rich concoction so you can tone it down a little if it's too much for you. This salad can be served as a side but it's nutricious enough that you could just boost the amount and eat it as a lunch or supper. You can have it ready in 20 minutes, so it's time friendly to boot.
If you want to try this out, you can find the youtube tutorial by clicking Edamame salad and the written recipe here.
Happy cooking! Kurumi XXXX.
I really do like my edamame in a salad! If you do too, why not try out my Edamame and Rocket salad?
