Edamame
What is Edamame? Edamame are green soybeans harvested before maturing. They are a healthy ingredient containing lots of nutrients found in both beans and vegetables. They are one of the most popular ingredients in Japanese recipes. They are great as an appetizer and commonly served before a meal in Japanese izakaya (gastropubs). They are ideal for beer and great to prevent hangovers!

How To Make Edamame
There are many ways to make the beans. One of the easiest recipes is plain steamed or boiled edamame. I also love garlic edamame with butter, as illustrated in this easy 10-minute recipe. The savory flavors of garlic, butter, salt and pepper add exciting new dimensions to the taste. The edamame beans are so appetizing and addictive you won’t stop eating!
