Great for snacking or to serve as a side dish, they are addictive. Edamame is a type of soybean very popular in Asian cuisine. The beans are usually served in different ways. In the United States, they are commonly served as snacks. Incorporating soybeans with pasta or meat is not a bad idea.
Edamame beans remind me of lima beans because of their color and shape. When cooked, lima beans are soft, pasty in texture, and perfect in rice. Edamame could also be cooked in rice as well. Although you can serve the soybeans in different ways, you may not want to overcook them. When crunchy, they are more appetizing, in my opinion. But again, it is a matter of choice.

Found in the frozen section of your local supermarket, edamame beans are sold shelled and unshelled. You can buy shelled or unshelled. It all depends on your preference and how you want to cook them. They are also sold fresh. When purchasing fresh edamame, make sure you pick the bright and green pods or bright and green beans.
The recipe for Edamame Beans
Not much to say! Believe me, it is very simple. You only need to cook the shelled edamame beans in the shallots and seasoning mixture. After a few minutes, you have a healthy snack or a side dish.
