Edamame Tofu Dip Recipes

EDAMAME DIP

Steps:

• Place the edamame in a colander and rinse them under hot running water until they are mostly thawed, about 30 seconds.
• In a food processor, coarsely puree the edamame and the remaining ingredients with 2 tablespoons water, leaving some chunks.
• Adjust the seasonings.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and, if you like, place lime slices on the sides of the bowl as you would for a margarita.

EDAMAME WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the salt into a small ungreased skillet. Place over medium heat and cook until tan colored - about 6-7 minutes; toss as it cooks. Set aside.
• Place the edamame into a pot of boiling water and cook until tender - 4 minutes. You want to cook out the raw taste but not let them get mushy.
• Immediately transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice-water to stop the cooking.
• Drain and pat dry and toss with prepared salt.
• Prepare the dipping sauce by whisking the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, honey, garlic, and scallions.
• Serve in small dipping bowl with the edamame.

EDAMAME TOFU MUSHIMONO

Steps:

• To make the edamame tofu, combine the edamame, 100 milliliters broth and 50 milliliters water in a blender and puree. Set aside.
• Combine the remaining 100 milliliters broth, agar-agar and 100 milliliters water in a pot and bring to a simmer, stirring to combine and activate the agar. In a cup, combine 50 milliliters water and the gelatin. Add that gelatin solution to the pot; keep the mixture at a simmer. Add the soy milk to the pot. Add the edamame puree to the pot. Keep simmering until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into a shallow rectangular 8-by-8-inch dish and let sit until room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
• After the tofu has set and is firm, slice it into 16 portions and garnish with tomato, ginger and cilantro leaves. Finish with a drizzle of ponzu, olive oil and flaked sea salt.
