Edamame♪ (green soybean) and Green Day

(posted; Japanese meal page)
Today, I would like to introduce one of the favorite Japanese dishes to go with the drinks; especially with beer during the summer time. It is " boild green soybean". My husband doesn't drink but he loves it. I have no way knowing how you have green soybean in your culture.

 
picture in the free scrapbook is from PC-site


this picture is taken by me  ＾＾；）　and I prepared this


surprised to find the flower from PC
 even different colors

This one is pretty easy to prepare.  Just boild them for about 5 minutes and salt them.  I remember that cutting them off from the twig was my job when young. And I felt happy finding them in my mother's bicycle basket when she came back from her work in the evening.  Haha, that was one of my sweet memories ♪

 Linking this post to Green Day hosted by Raindrops and Daisies.
   Thank you very much for stopping by, Love you always;

    Dearest Miyako san,

    Edamame beans are being sold here fresh and also as a kind of 'nut', dry roasted. You will laugh but when we have our afternoon tea, with a mix of nuts and also edamame dry roasted, our youngest feline LOVES them! She always begs for two or three.
    So now you know what is available here in the USA.
    Love to you from your American friend,

    Mariette

    I've only just started eating and enjoying edamame about a year ago, and I love it! I also loved your memory with your mom, my dear friend Miyako. Those edamame are so healthy for us, and your memory promotes joy, as well. I hope your day is wonderful!

    Dear Miyako,
    I have seen edamame fresh in the stores but didn't know how to prepare them so I've never had them fresh but now that I know how to prepare them I'll give them a try. I do like them dry roasted. I love the glass bowl in your photo. It's beautiful. I have some green glass bowls that I like to use for salads and fresh fruits. Everything always looks more appealing served in them.
    Enjoy your weekend my bs. Love you always.

    This dish you prepared is my favorite appetizer to order when dining out in Japanese restaurants. I love them. It is easy to find edamame where I live, fresh and frozen. Have a great weekend, Miyako! ((hugs)) xo

    Ohh edamame! I love these..they are much healthier than many other otsumami, I think.
    Using pods instead of twigs is such a good finding! I often check dictionary when writing blog but sometimes wonder what word is most appropriate. It's great to have native English speaking friends :-)
    Have a wonderful weekend, Miyako san!

    I've made edamame salad before. It was good. Although I think I remember removing the them from their pods.

    Miyako, so good to be reading your posts again my friend! I'm from North Carolina which grows 75% of the United State's Soybean crops. Soybean fields are everywhere! The majority of our soybeans are processed into animal grain or into cooking oil, oil for salad dressings, etc. When we use them for food, they're called edamame. I've eaten them as you've prepared them and shelled in salads and, as another person commented, roasted as a crunchy and healthy snack.

    Hope to have more time to read my favorite bloggers soon! You always brighten my day. Hugs,
    Glenda

    Oh, I love Edamame beans! A farmer who lives down the road from me always puts out a huge crop. It is always fascinating to know that we are so far apart but can enjoy the same foods. Hugs!
