[Recipes] Low-Sugar Snacks: Steamed Edamame

Hands-On Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes


Ingredients

For the Chicken Salt:

  • 2 bouillon cubes (chicken-flavored)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp MSG (optional)

For the Edamame:

  • 1 lb edamame (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tsp kosher salt (for boiling water)
  • 1 tsp chicken salt (see above), plus more to taste


Instructions

Step 1: Chicken Salt

  • In a little bowl, use a fork to crumble the bouillon cubes into a fine powder.
  • Include garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, turmeric, paprika, and MSG (if relevant).
  • Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
  • Store excess chicken salt in an airtight container at room temperature for up to six months.


Step 2: Steam the Edamame

  • In a big pot, whisk in two tablespoons of kosher salt and include roughly half inch of water. Bring to a boil.
  • Put edamame in a steamer basket and drop it into the saucepan. Put on a lid.
  • Steam for 8 to 10 minutes, or until completely tender. Frozen edamame could take a little longer.


Step 3: Serve and Season

  • Transfer the drained edamame to a big bowl.
  • Add a dash of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of chicken salt. Toss to distribute evenly.

TIPS
  • Wonderful served warm or cold.
