Edamame Snack
The Japanese love edamame, which are soy beans in the pod. This snack can be eaten warm or cold. A great treat for Vegetarians, Vegans and Omnivores alike!
You'll need:
- 1 bag of frozen edamame
- 6 cups of water
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt
- A little help from an adult or older sibling
Equipment:
- A large pot
- A slotted spoon
- Oven mitts
- A colander
- Put the water in the pot and add the salt.
Bring the water to a boil on high heat.
- Open the bag of edamame and pour them into the boiling water.
- Let the water come to a boil again and cook for 1-2 minutes or the time listed in the directions on the package.
Frozen edamame is pre-cooked, so it will only take a little bit to cook them.
- Test one or two pods to see if they're tender.
- Put the colander in the sink. If you need help, ask your older brother or sister to drain the edamame.
- Let them cool for a few minutes, so you don't burn youyr fingers, then break the pods open with your fingers or your teeth and eat the tender beans inside.
- If you let them cool thoroughly you can pack them in resealable bags and slip them into your lunch sack.
