Edamame With Dipping Sauce

Mrsspeevs's Note:

Edamame is the hottest new food since tofu. They have tons of protein, fiber, and amino acids, and are very tasty! This is great as an appetizer, side dish, or snack. To eat them, just pop them out of the pod

Great sauce! I served these with sushi, sushimi and tuna skewers and sake. Awesome combo. I did skip the salt part, boiled for 3 minutes, rinsed with cold water, then placed beans in sauce and retrieved them with chopsticks. Thanks for posting just what I was looking for.
