Another yummy EDAMAME recipe - nice with CL's Miso-Glazed Salmon.

[lindrusso]

Well, with all the discussion about edamame lately on the boards, I decided to search for an Asian-flavored edamame recipe to go with CL's Miso-Glazed Salmon. The recipe I found is delicious and very easy to prepare. The colors are a very nice complement to the salmon dish. I was a bit afraid that the edamame dish might be too flavorful to serve with the flavorful-sounding salmon, but the tanginess of the dressing is nice with the sweetness of the miso glaze. I served the salmon and edamame with brown basmati rice. Yum! :)

ASIAN-STYLE EDAMAME AND CORN

The traditional Asian flavors of ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar and soy sauce set the stage for edamame and corn in this chilled (they make no mention of chilling it in the recipe) salad. Adapted from a recipe in The Complete Soy Cookbook by Paulette Mitchell.

Dressing:
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted*
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger root

Salad:
2 cups cooked and shelled edamame
1 cup corn (I used frozen, but fresh would be even better - I just threw it in with the edamame toward the end)
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
4 large lettuce leaves (I skipped this part)

Whisk dressing ingredients together, adjust seasonings to taste. Set aside.

Add the corn and bell pepper to the edamame, toss with dressing. Serve on lettuce greens.

Makes 4 servings.

*To toast sesame seeds, place in a dry skillet over medium heat. Shake gently until seeds begin to pop and turn golden brown. Cool.

Enjoy! :)

Yowza! This does sound good. I enjoyed the Miso Glazed Salmon when I made it before. We both like edamame too!

Thanks!

That looks great, Alysha! I love the miso salmon recipe and this recipe looks like a good excuse to make it again!

Another home run for Alysha! :) I've gotten so many great recipes from you, thank you for all your reviews.

This was super easy to put together. I only had 1 cup of edamame (I thought I had a full bag), but otherwise followed the recipe. I served it with the Shrimp and Peanut Noodles recipe from 08/02.

Yum! I've been intending to look for a recipe for edamame with these ingredients (I usually just eat it w/ soy sauce). Thanks for sharing--I hope to have this one night this week.

I've been using so many toasted sesame seeds in recipes lately, and recently found a big sprinkle jar of already toasted sesame seeds at the Asian market for cheap! It's great because they are ready to go for salads, stir-fry's, jasmine rice, etc., cost less than the ones from the grocery store, and you don't have to toast them every time.

Glad you enjoyed it Lisa. :) Mmmm...fresh corn is in season and we haven't had edamame in a while... :)

I made this last week along with the Chicken Burgers w/ Peanut Sauce and Soba Noodles with Sesame Seeds (a nigella recipe posted by badunnin).

WE LOVED THIS!!!! It was very easy and tasted so fresh. The first night we had it we served it on lettuce, but we preferred it w/o lettuce. I did add some mushrooms, which just added to the freshness! We did not have fresh corn :( and used frozen, but it still was so good. It was a tad salty, so next time I may decrease the soy sauce a tiny bit. I love the flavor of edamame and it paired nicely with our dinner.

Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the recipe. Dumb question: What is Miso, and where do I find it?

[aggie94]

Leisa,

Miso is soybean paste. You should be able to find it at Central Market, Whole Foods, or any Asian market.

Thanks.
