Furikake Edamame

Edamame, soybeans in the pod, are a popular bar snack all over Japan – a bit like beer nuts or pretzels. You can buy them frozen from Asian grocers to have on hand when friends drop by for a drink. Simply blanch them (or better still pop them in the microwave for a minute) and they’re ready to go. I discovered that they’re even better tossed with a shake of furikake (Japanese rice seasoning) and ichimi togarashi (red chilli powder), an idea I first saw at mod Japanese diner Cho Cho San in Potts Point, Sydney which has furikake edamame on the menu. Enjoy with a cold Yebisu beer, try the premium black if you’re a fan of dark beers! See the video below for another easy Japanese snack.

Serves 6 as a snack

Ingredients
  • 400g frozen brined edamame
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons furikake
  • Ichimi togarashi, for sprinkling (optional)
Method
  1. Place frozen edamame in a bowl and into the microwave on high for a minute or so until heated through. Alternatively, place frozen edamame in a saucepan of cold water and bring to the boil; drain well.
  2. Pat dry on paper towel.
  3. Place in a large bowl with vegetable oil and toss to coat.
  4. Add furikake and toss through.
  5. Transfer furikake edamame to a serving bowl and sprinkle with a little ichimi togarashi if you like.
  6. Serve with a large bowl for the empty pods.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken from the Chinese class the other night. Once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better than going out to restaurants as the recipes and quality are amazing.

The whole Be Inspired experience has helped me love cooking again. I was sick of cooking the same old things - meal time is a lot brighter thanks to you Roberta.

Your recipes are something I always feel confident offering guests and also reasonable in the time to prepare. We often try your recommended wines and suppliers and enjoy your travel tales too!

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic ingredients and quality produce. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to. And I love listening to the themed playlist while cooking.

I am absolutely loving Be Inspired! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Awesome fun traveling through Emilia-Romagna experiencing first hand some of the produce I've worked with over the last couple of years cooking with Roberta's classes – the family are reaping the benefits now.

Food, wine and travel! Three of my favourite things! Be Inspired with Roberta has been a wonderful experience and given me more confidence in the kitchen. I have learnt so much, cooked things I never would have attempted without Roberta’s excellent videos, and used ingredients I have never tried before.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from Roberta's online cooking classes. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
