Haven't tried these yet but I want to.

Japanese-Flavored Edamame
Ingredients
5 1/3 oz frozen edamame, shelled, about 1/3 of a 16 oz bag
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp wasabi powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Instructions
Place a small saucepan filled with water over high heat. Add edamame to pan and bring to a boil; boil for 3 minutes and drain. Place edamame in a serving bowl and set aside. (Or cook a 16 ounce bag of edamame in a medium saucepan and make the Mexican and Indian varieties as well.)
To make seasoning, mix together sea salt, wasabi powder and ground ginger in a cup; toss with edamame until well-coated. Yields about 1/3 cup per serving.

Indian-Flavored Edamame
5 1/3 oz frozen edamame, shelled, about 1/3 of a 16 oz bag
2 tsp curry powder
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Mexican-Flavored Edamame
5 1/3 oz frozen edamame, shelled, about 1/3 of a 16 oz bag
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Core Edamame Hummus
2 cups shelled Edamame
1 tsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)

2 TB fresh-squeezed lemon juice

Mix all together, mash and enjoy!

SUPA big huge hugs of thanks! I'ma be an edamame fool! ;D ;D ;D

PS--do you have to nuke the edamame to get them out of their shells and then boil? Or do you boil then shell them?

PPS --you're still gonna post the roasted version, right?

Night - I nuked the edamame, which cooked it, didn't need to boil afterwards. Then I let cool and popped them out of their shells into a bowl (have to admit I didn't let them cool long enough and burned some of my fingers!). Then mixed them with the seasonings of my choice and put right on a baking sheet into the oven to roast.
