[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.
