Edamame Tofu Dip Recipes

EDAMAME TOFU DIP

Steps:

• Place edamame, ginger and scallion in bowl of a food processor and process until everything is finely chopped, about 30 seconds.
• Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Taste and add a few more drops of soy sauce or sesame oil, or both, if needed.

EDAMAME DIP

Steps:

• Place the edamame, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, miso, salt, chili paste and pepper into the bowl of a food processor and process for 15 seconds. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl and process for another 15 to 20 seconds. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Once all of the oil has been added, stop, scrape down the bowl and then process another 5 to 10 seconds. Taste and adjust seasoning, as desired. Serve with chips or crackers. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Place the edamame and water into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 4 to 6 minutes. Drain any excess water and serve as is or salted.

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.

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.

• Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day. (If needed, add additional water.) Serve with radishes and crackers.
