Best City Bakerys Edamame Spread Recipes

SWEET AND SPICY SOY GLAZED EDAMAME

Steps:

• Cook the edamame according to package directions.
• In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes.
• Heat canola oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Once heated, add the garlic and ginger. Let cook for one to two minutes, stirring to avoid garlic from burning.
• Add in the soy sauce mixture and raise the heat to medium. Let cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce reduces to a glaze, about 5-7 minutes. Once you reach the desired glaze consistency, add in the cooked edamame and toss well.
• Use tongs to plate edamame. Pour any glaze left in the saucepan into a small dipping bowl alongside the edamame. Devour immediately.
• *I've made this without rice vinegar when I looked in the pantry and we didn't have any. It still came out great.
• **If you have a micrograter, you can grate the garlic and ginger if you want. That way it it dissolves into the glaze instead of having little finely minced chunks. If you try it this way, only cook the ginger and garlic for about 30 seconds. I've done it both ways. Totally your call, just wanted to give you the option ????

EDAMAME SPREAD

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the edamame and garlic until edamame are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• In a food processor, puree edamame, garlic, lemon zest and juice, oil, and 1/2 cup water until very smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl. If needed, thin by adding water one tablespoon at a time. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day. (If needed, add additional water.) Serve with radishes and crackers.

SIMPLE ROASTED EDAMAME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Toss edamame, olive oil, garlic, sea salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl until well-coated. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven, stirring halfway through, until edamame shells start to brown, about 20 minutes. Serve whole, popping beans out of the shell to eat.

CITY BAKERY'S EDAMAME SPREAD

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the soybeans and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• In a food processor, pulse together the soybeans and vinegars. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow stream. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with rice crackers -- either the discs or warped sheets. Ilene Rosen, the savory chef at City Bakery, calls this her version of rice and beans.
