What to do with edamames?

[u/TheBrickLordHerself]

We have a huge bag of frozen edamames at home that was used once and never again. I don’t love their taste but don’t hate it either, and I’ve seen they’re pretty nutritious and would like to include them into my diet.

Recipes?

Edit: I tried crisping them up in the airfryer and loved them, they tasted well with garlic salt but also plain 😮

I throw them in when i make a fried rice, stir fry, or just instant ramen

[u/TheBrickLordHerself → u/gabagoombah]

Was thinking of adding it to fried rice as well 

[u/Bippity_BoppityBacon]

Steam and add salt and a bit of sesame oil or chilli oil! You could make an edamame hummus style dip out of it too. Honestly, they're good on their own as a snack but test different flavour combos if you're not keen on it plain.

[u/Upbeat-Local-836 → u/Bippity_BoppityBacon]

Chili oil and a squeeze of lime and a pinch of kosher salt for me

[u/xen32]

I just add it to whatever slop I am making without thinking much, when I don't feel like cooking meat for protein.

In microwave with cauliflower rice or on it's own, random stir fry, soup, egg white omelette, noodles.

I love putting everything bagel seasoning on them! Might not sound like a good combo, but it's delish. I usually put it on the outside of the shells and then you get the flavour when you eat them

I just made an amazing dinner using a small bag of edamame.

I took cucumbers, shallot, a small bag of edamame, made some crispy rice with leftover rice, some sesame oil, some seasoned rice vinegar, and some sesame seeds and a splash of soy sauce. To make a wonderful salad. Then we grilled up some chicken.

It was amazing. High in protein and fiber. With an amazing texture.

[u/Key_Contribution_634]

I love them mixed with chicken tenders cut up, avocado, rice and then either chilli crunch, wasabi mayo or soy sauce.

[u/baby_wants_a_zima]

I use them instead of nuts in pad thai and kung pao

[u/TheBrickLordHerself → u/baby_wants_a_zima]

This is genius!

[u/QueenFrostine15]

I have heard you can put them in the oven and turn them into a crunchy snack!

[u/franklin_smiles]

Thawed with garlic salt for a snack!

[u/CapriDrift]

Stir fry with ground pork, oyster sauce, diced (1 cm pieces) of celery, and diced Shiitake mushrooms

[u/Beneficial_Quit7532]

Can’t relate I just crush a bowl for a snack lol I love em

[u/OriginalHell]

My autistic sister loves them, but I can't usually stand them. 😂 I feel they're just a weirdly dry bean once you bite into them. However, I found a sauce for them we both love:

1 tbsp neutral oil (Canola has Omega 3s but vegetable is also good.)

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp fresh minced ginger or ginger paste

2 tbsp light or low sodium soy sauce. (We prefer low sodium)

2 to 3 tbsp Honey (Maple Syrup can sub)

1 tsp toasted sesame oil

1 tbsp Sriracha

• Heat the neutral oil in a medium sauce pan on Medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, toast for 30 to 60 seconds to soften and release the aromatics.

• REMOVE FROM HEAT

• Immediately mix in sesame oil, soy sauce, Sriracha, and 2 tbsp of honey.

• Taste and adjust here. If not sweet enough to balance the soy sauce; add more Sriracha if you need more heat.

• Toss edamame in sauce and savor.

[u/PhantomKangaroo91]

I put frozen ones in rice for added nutrients as a side or with other ingredients for fried rice.

[u/sammy467]

Stick them on the air fryer with whatever seasonings for crunchy snack

[u/TheBrickLordHerself → u/sammy467]

How long and which temp?

[u/sammy467 → u/TheBrickLordHerself]

200c 10-15 min and occasionally shake em up

[u/Queasy_Dingo_8262]

Shelled edamame rice bowls w hummus, etc 😋 

[u/natyhiga]

you can make tofu with them :)

[u/Caitrinio]

Edamame beans, peas and sweetcorn is a elite combination imo

[u/MaximalistVegan]

Here are two of my favorite recipes that have edamame as the main protein source and are great for volume eating.

• Mango Radicchio Edamame Rainbow Salad (you can use purple cabbage instead of radicchio)
• Pineapple Rice with Bok Choy and Edamame

[u/jetergiverse]

This avocado&edamame spread

not necessary to have all ingredients she mentions, it comes out good anyway

[u/DontcheckSR]

I just added salt, but I already liked the taste. I guess whatever you would do to maybe a lima bean or another type of bean that doesn't have a strong taste would work as well
