Trying more things: Edamame

Edamame

I've been making an effort to try things I wouldn't normally eat. They need not be new things they may just be things I haven't had in a while or things I wouldn't normally get excited about eating. For example, last month I tried Brussel Sprouts for the first time in decades. This month’s new ingredient choice was Edamame. I'm not sure I've ever had Edamame before but either way I certainly don't eat it often. For those of you are unfamiliar with Edamame it is the Japanese name for the soy bean. It’s a soft green bean that is a complete protein source.

Last night Husband and I made a dish with Edamame called "Pork and Edamame Fried Rice" from Cooking Light. The result? The dish was really good. I must admit, however, I still can't tell you exactly what Edamame tastes like. It was one of the many pieces in the very flavorful fried rice. But it definitely wasn't bad! I know Edamame can be also eaten raw, by itself, and although I didn't do that this time perhaps I will next time. Or perhaps not, the fried rice was very good and at the very least I'll eat more Edamame the next time we make the fried rice.
