Edamame has become a popular snack all over the world, pairing extremely well with a cold beer or as a side to any Japanese dish. It’s also a great source of protein and vitamin A.
They’re fun to eat and share with a group of friends (watch as the empty shells quickly pile up to the side as the evening progresses!) This is a very easy recipe to jazz up the sweet, almost nutty flavor of this bean.

Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound edamame, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 nori sheet
- 2 tablespoons bonito flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Follow directions on edamame package on how to cook them (I prefer boiling them a couple of minutes less than what the directions say, as it makes them less mushy).
- Drain them and let them dry for 2-3 minutes.
- Break the nori and add it to a coffee/spice grinder along with the bonito flakes and the salt. Grind the mixture until it almost turns into a powder.
- Put the edamame in a mixing bowl and sprinkle the powdered mixture over them. Toss a few times and serve.
