Notes

Edamame (Soybeans) from the Japan Cooking Land
Edamame is also known as sweet potato soybean, green soybean, and rice soybean. It requires high temperatures and at most a 65-day period of growth to produce usable beans. There are numerous cultivars to choose from, all of which are suitable for growing in Asia. The majority of edamame is used in Asian cooking, but the crop is also cultivated in Europe and in America to be eaten as an ingredient in a variety of dishes. Edamame is a sweet and sour sauce that can be used to make Japanese sushi or Chinese dumplings.

The beans have a softened firm head that doesn't easily break, and small, seedless seeds. The seeds are large round, dark black. Pick the beans at the highest point when you pick. Rinse the beans with soap and dry them on towels. Do not dry too long. Hang to dry, periodically shaking the plant from time to open the nodes. Allow to dry completely. Then soak the leaves in water for a few minutes until they dry to the touch.

First remove the pod and seeds of the edamame plant to prepare the dish. The unharvested pods cook fast. The most nutritious part of the soybean is the cooked pods. This is particularly applicable to vegetarians and those who are not a fan of fish and meat. Soybeans contain significant amounts of protein and other beneficial nutrients.

The beans will stop producing beans once they have reached full maturity. This occurs in twelve to thirty-six months. The pod will fall to the ground and begin to die. The green beans are now fully mature and are able to be harvested. The harvest is best from June to August. Choose the largest pod you can find.

The green beans can be cooked cooked or grilled, stewed, raw, or even juiced. Edamame roasted is a tasty snack that can be enjoyed as a breakfast or as a part of a hearty Japanese dinner. The baked pods are cooked in ovens and are served as breakfast cereal. The oven is a great method to grill edamame, however it is susceptible to burning and take longer to cook.

If you prefer a salty taste in your edamame, simply follow common sense and use fine sea salt when cooking. Do not use table salt to season your edamame, or else the salt will stick to the pods and leave a oily substance on the beans' surface. To release bitterness, you can add sugar or honey. To make a dish more flavorful, some people add vinegar to sea salt. It is recommended to let the beans sit in water for several hours prior to cooking.


After you have purchased or harvested your beans, keep them in a cool location. Keep the beans in an airtight container to prevent the beans from oxidation. Remove the skin from the beans and clean out any residue such as ink or dirt. To remove any residue or oil, rinse the beans well. Edamame can be baked in a dehydrator at 200 degrees until dry; however, if you are short on time it is preferential to boil the beans.

Once your edamame has become dry, it is time to make use of it. Boil water in a pot and add one tablespoon of soybean oil to the water. Add the green beans to the boiling water and let them float to the top. Drain the cooked edamame beans into clean glasses and serve warm.

To avoid burning, soybeans should be cooked quickly. Once the beans have been cooked, allow them to cool. Prepare a frying pan and cook the oil on the lowest temperature. Add the edamame to the pan and fry until golden brown. Drain and rinse after about five minutes before placing on a plate to cool.

Fresh beans are high in enzymes, whereas dried beans lack them. Therefore, when using edamame, it is recommended to use dried beans that have been pre-soaked. Green Soybean Dry beans that have been pre-soaked have gone through several stages of soaking in water and drying in a commercial dehydrator. The longer they are left in the water before drying, the more nutrients they have absorbed. Edamame, when used in its original form, should be consumed within three days to maximize its nutritional value.

Although Japanese soybeans are delicious and nutritious, they aren't as healthy as garden beans. They are small and firm, making them different from the typical backyard peas. Edamame has a distinct flavor and is different from other Japanese soy products. Many restaurants serve japanese Edamame with a delicious miso soup or vinegar.
