Edamame

Edamame ~ Boiled Soya Beans is a savoury quick healthy, snack which is a power house of protein. Edamame is a simple dish of boiled baby soya beans popular in China, Korea and various oriental pockets of the world. I first sampled this at a oriental restaurant and loved the healthy bites. In US, you get frozen varieties where the beans are packed in pods. Simple and easy to make; they are quick to eat and kid friendly as well.

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Soya Beans pods - 4-6 cups

Method:

Thaw the Soya Beans if specified in the package, else transfer them to a deep bowl of boiling water. Add a teaspoon of salt while boiling. Once completely cooked (check and eat one bean pod open to affirm), transfer to a different dish and drain water completely. Sprinkle sea salt and give a toss. Eat the beans while they are hot.
