Edamame beans, the bar nuts of Japan, are almost a perfect food - healthy, simple, yummy. Even my three-year-old loves 'em (he calls them "mama beans"). But...they're fuzzy. Barbara from Tigers & Strawberries tries to right this wrong with a technique from cookbook author Hiroko Shimbo: rubbing them with coarse salt. That, of course, turns out to be a little harder than warranted for such a simple snack. She goes on to explain the method she uses to prepare them: drop in boiling water for five minutes with some lemon peel, drain and rinse, spread on paper towels to dry, sprinkly liberally with coarse salt, and serve.Hacking food - edamame beans
