Sweet and Spicy Edamame
This is the simplest recipe and the best for a party appetizer – it just adds a little something extra to plain ol’ edamame. It’s not that spicy trust me – from someone who doesn’t care for spicy things – but you can always adjust it to taste.
ingredients:
1 package frozen edamame
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon Ichimi Togarashi
1 teaspoon sugar
Ichimi Togarashi
In a small bowl combine the salt, ichimi togarashi and sugar. Stir well and set aside.
Boil edamame according to package, drain. Blot them dry with paper towels, just a bit – then sprinkle the seasoning on top.
Serve it and act like you worked really hard to make it.
Edamame rocks.
The more you eat the more you toot!
Beans, beans, they’re good for the heart, the more you eat the more you fart.
I believe I will make this for my in between lunch snack at work, Thanks! :]
Make a homemade teriyaki sauce with a little sesame oil and the tagorashi pepper toss with edamame and it will make your day. That’s how we do it for parties and it’s a big hit.
Ah ha! There’s a spicy edamame appetizer at my favorite sushi restaurant and I’ve tried recreating it at home with little luck. My version was good but not quite the same but I think that is the spice I need to find! Adding a little sugar is genius, I will try that. Thank you!
Ditto what Maile said … in addition, add chopped garlic to taste. Onolicious!
I should really try adding spices to my edamame because I always eat them plain. However, I find that adding spices to edamame would be a waste because I eat the inside of the edamame and the spices that sick on the outside gets thrown away. Is that how you eat them?
Well, I usually put them in my mouth, then pull the outside out – leaving the beans and seasonings in my mouth. That was a weird look into my eating habits, wasn’t it? But I find that’s how most people eat edamame….
