Edamame
The Japanese name Edamame ( Japanese 枝 豆 ) means beans on a branch ; It is used to designate both the unripe harvested soybeans themselves and the dish made from them. The beans are cooked whole and are a popular accompaniment to beer in Japanese izakaya (pubs). In Germany , they are now not only offered in Japanese restaurants, but are also on the menu in trendy bars and upscale restaurants.

The Japanese name edamame 枝 豆 can also be translated with string beans, as the pods, which are harvested slightly immature, are often cooked while they are still attached to the stem. The green soybeans are hidden inside the pods. Only they are eaten, not the pericarp of the pods themselves.
history
The earliest written mention of the term Edamame comes from the year 1275, when the Japanese monk Nichiren thanked a parishioner for the gift of Edamame in a note. The sushi boom began in California in 1980, accompanied by an increasing interest in Japanese culture. Edamame also came into focus, as they are also served free of charge with beer in traditional Japanese restaurants, comparable to free peanuts with American beer.
preparation
The edamame are boiled in a pot with salted and sparkling water for at least five minutes and then sprinkled in a bowl with sea salt and possibly spices, for example with chilli or garlic. The soft beans are pushed or sucked out of the pod with either your fingers or your mouth. In Germany Edamame is available in Asian shops or on the Internet, but also increasingly in normal supermarkets, e.g. B. to buy peeled as frozen food. The soybean kernels are similar to broad beans , but taste a little more nutty, are crunchier and are now particularly popular with vegetarians and vegans. They are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins and are often combined cold or warm with tofu, roasted peanuts or noodles.
