Sesame Lime Edamame | Magnolia Days

It’s no secret I’ll eat sushi any chance I can. I’ve never made it at home because my husband is quite the opposite. He does not care for sushi at all. So I have my sushi buddies who I can count on to go with me when the craving strikes. My friend Terry is the one I go with most often. Our tastes and preference are almost an exact match. A couple of my sushi buddies moved away to Hawaii years ago and I miss our dinners together. One thing they usually ordered is edamame. I was thinking of them the other day when I was making Sesame Lime Edamame and wishing they could be here to enjoy it with me.

A few flavors combined together can make an extraordinary dish. Recipes with minimal ingredients are sought after at an ever increasing rate. Time probably plays a factor. Budget and cooking experience are also considerations. A few moments ago my mom said she would not make a recipe again because it was too hard. This is when simplicity along with the right flavor combo would be more appealing to her and many others.

Five ingredients or less was the challenge. Water, oil, and salt are freebies since they are so common. It seems like an easy thing to do. The difficulty factor come in once you get into wanting to add a pinch of this or a splash of that for flavor. Baking was out. Well, plain bread was an option because it is made with flour, yeast, liquid, salt, and fat. Since I’ve done basic white bread I thought something else was in order.

My thoughts went toward produce. When it is fresh picked from the garden it needs little else. A perfectly ripe tomato sliced and sprinkled with salt and pepper is heaven on a plate. However, that isn’t exactly a recipe. Neither is peeling and eating a peach. So I thought of beans and at the same time had a craving for sushi. The two collided and resulted in a choice of what to make for the Five Ingredient or Less recipe challenge for Sunday Supper.

How is the sesame lime edamame? It’s earthy, nutty, and citrusy all in one. Toasted sesame seeds are crushed with kosher salt and lime zest in a mortar and pestle. The mixture plus fresh lime juice is stirred with warm edamame. I served it as a side with lime wedges. You could also serve it as an appetizer. Another option is to have it as one of the fillings in a spread for build your own lettuce wraps. There are many possibilities.

    The seasoning for the edamame sounds great. My toddler son has got in to edamame recently so it’s reminded me how tasty they can be.

    Like sushi, edamame is one of those foods that nobody in my family except me adores! And now you’ve made me crave both!

    I am 100% with you on the sushi love! I don’t trust myself with edamame though – it’s far too addictive!

    Grrrrreat idea, Renee! Never thought about accenting the edamame with lime…Lemon brightens most savory or sweet dish so why not a squeeze of citrus! Hats off to my one smart friend =) P.a. Plenty of places to enjoy sushi in Santa Monica CA…Want to visit?

    Same predicament in my house. I love sushi, hubby detests it. Luckily we have a fantastic restaurant that has a wonderful, fresh sushi bar and also makes terrific Asian dishes that my husband loves. Thanks for sharing the edamame recipe today.

    I’m a sushi lover too and edamame is the perfect pre-sushi snack. I’ll try yours next time. GREG

    I love snacking on edamame still in the pod, but on its own like this sounds even better (and easier to eat!)

    I giggled during your write up too – peeling a peach doesn’t count as a recipe?! Booo
