Japanese-style edamame and sesame salad Recipe

Edamame and sesame salad is a simple, protein-packed snack that in Japan is often served with beer in small izakaya bars. Instead of heavy chips, you get a bowl of green beans that are as addictive as popcorn. At home you can serve it as a light dinner or as a side to rice and fish.

Ingredients

  • edamame - 200 g
  • sesame oil - 1.5 tbsp
  • soy sauce - 1.5 tbsp
  • rice vinegar - 1 tbsp
  • garlic - 1 clove
  • ginger - 1 tsp
  • sesame seeds - 1.5 tbsp
  • chives - 2 tbsp
  • sugar - 0.5 tsp
Main Ingredient: edamame

Preparation

  1. Bring a pot of water to the boil, lightly salt it and add the frozen edamame; cook for 3–4 minutes from when it comes back to the boil, until they’re tender but still slightly firm.
  2. Drain the edamame in a colander and quickly rinse with cold water to stop the cooking, then drain very well.
  3. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, shaking the pan often, until the seeds are lightly browned and smell nutty; remove from the heat and set aside.
  4. Finely chop the garlic or press it through a garlic press; grate the ginger on a fine grater.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic and ginger until the sugar dissolves.
  6. Put the cooked edamame into a larger bowl, pour over the prepared dressing and gently toss so the beans are evenly coated.
  7. Add the toasted sesame seeds and chopped chives, and mix again.
  8. Serve right away at room temperature or slightly chilled in small bowls.
