1 . Scrumptious Fried Edamame (Soy Beans)

Scrumptious Fried Edamame (Soy Beans)

Here is another great dish for drinking. Of course it is great with freshly cooked rice, too. You can use Canned Soy Beans, but I like crunchy Edamame Beans better. The coating of Potato Starch is the key to the scrumptiousness. Do not omit it.

Ingredient

1 cup

Edamame (Young Soy Beans) *removed from pods

2 tablespoons

Potato Starch Flour *OR other Starch Flour

1 tablespoon

Soy Sauce

1 tablespoon

Sugar

1 teaspoon

Rice Vinegar

1 teaspoon

Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) *OR Ground Chilli as required

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Combine all the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl.

* Step 2

Sprinkle Potato Starch Flour over the thawed Edamame Beans and coat them well.

* Step 3

Heat a generous amount of Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and cook Edamame until the coating turned white and crispy. *Note: Alternatively, you can deep-fry them.

* Step 4

*Note: If the amount of Oil is not enough, Beans would stick to each other. If that happens, keep cooking, tossing and shaking the pan, until Beans get separated and coating becomes white and crispy.

* Step 5

Use a skimmer or mesh ladle to transfer the fried Beans to the sauce and mix to combine.

4 . Creamy Pasta With Broad Beans, Peas & Edamame

Creamy Pasta With Broad Beans, Peas & Edamame

These beans & peas don’t need to be fresh ones. Using frozen beans & peas, you can cook this dish whenever you want to. I love Broad Beans. The very first version of this dish was made with Broad Beans only. But I started adding Peas and Edamame (Young Soy Beans) to make it look prettier. Then I added a secret ingredient, that has brought this dish to the next level.

1/2-1 teaspoon

5 . Crunchy Edamame & Black Rice Salad

Crunchy Edamame & Black Rice Salad

In Melbourne where I live, a greater variety of rice are becoming available even from the average supermarkets. Short, medium and long grain rice. Glutinous rice, Wild rice, Arborio, Basmati, Jasmine, Brown rice, White rice, Red rice and Black rice. I particularly love the black coloured rice such as Wild rice and Black rice. They have chewy texture and rich nutty flavour. And they are very good for health.
