Edamame has it's Benefits

Healthy eating is key when maintaining a LIR Status. After noticing Style Architect June Ambrose tweeting about the benefits of eating Edamame, I had to participate.

I found it at my local Target or Tarjey as they say and I was impressed. I found it to be refreshing and accompanied with a nice dip or sauce, it will give you life.

ENJOY!

Ingredients:
1 pound fresh edamame
salt, preferably kosher or sea salt

Directions:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add edamame and continue boiling until beans are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. To prevent overcooking, start checking for doneness approximately 7 minutes after cooking. (To check, remove one carefully, dip in cold water to cool, and taste.)

When done, run cold water over, or put in ice water, to stop cooking.
Drain well; pat excess moisture off, and sprinkle with salt to taste. (Start with 1/2 teaspoon.)
To eat: hold pod by stem end, and slide the individual beans out with your teeth.
Discard pod
