Edamame Soybean Snacks
Edamame is the Japanese term for young green soybeans. Soybeans are higher in fat than any other bean, so enjoy this snack along with a low-fat meal to minimize your overall fat intake.
Ingredients
6 cups water
1 pound unshelled edamame
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
Preparation
Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. Add the edamame and return to a boil. Lower the heat slightly, cover, and cook for about 8 minutes, until the beans are just tender. Drain and toss with the optional salt.
Transfer to a serving bowl and provide a plate for the discarded pods.
Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Soybean Snacks will keep for up to 3 days.
