Finger Licking Sesame Edamame

Rita~'s Note:

Edamame is more commonly known as a soybean, harvested at the peak of ripening right before it reaches the "hardening" time. Edamame means "Beans on Branches" . A good source of protein. Enjoy as a snack squeezed directly from the well seasoned pods into the mouth with the fingers. Hence finger licking good!

I usually serve edamame only lightly salted, but this was just as easy and a bit of an interesting change. If you like sesame, you'll love this.

Very Very tasty! Normally we have our edamame warm with sea salt and this was a lovely change! I scaled this back for 2 had this as an appetizer before Tilapia in Thai Sauce! Thanks for posting! Made for The Queens of Quisine ZWT6!
