Edamame & Soy Dipping Sauce

edamame-2

Edamame (nonGMO)

Organic Edamame (nonGMO soybeans) are a great snack full of nutrition. The key is that that must be organic or nonGMO to be healthy or safe.  A 2/3 cup serving contains 120 calories, 4 gram of fiber, 10 grams of protein, 10% calcium, 10% iron and 20% Vitamin C! We purchase the frozen version which is most readily available and prepare as stated below. These make a great snack or lunch entree!

Cook edamame in 4 cups of purified boiling water on medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Drain and season with pink Himalayan/Celtic Salt or with the Soy Dipping Sauce below.  To eat, split the pod with your fingers to remove the beans. Discard the pods.

    Your so funny. I would LOVE to make you a bento. Bunny or Monkey themed?; )I, too, have memeiros of mutilated lunches. The art in bento is cramming in enough to keep it all in place but not too much so it also becomes mutilated. I’m still figuring it all out … but having a good time doing it.Try it! If you browse the photos on flickr you’ll find samples of all kinds, including for big kids like us.Thanks for the note.: )Jackie.
