What is Edamame? Edamame is a Japanese dish prepared with immature soybeans in the pod. The pods are boiled or steamed and may be served with salt or other condiments. The dish has become popular across the world because it is rich in vitamins, dietary fiber, and isoflavones. This is a great “make-ahead” dish because it gets better as it marinates. Give this recipe a try, I did, and I did like it very much!
