edamame
Immature soybean appetizer
Edamame are immature soybeans, typically served in the pod and eaten as a snack or appetizer.
The pods are boiled or steamed, often salted, and the beans squeezed out with the teeth.
Common in Japanese cuisine and now widespread at sushi restaurants and in frozen food aisles: We ordered edamame while we waited for our rolls.
