Steps

1

Remove the edamame from their shells and remove the thin inner skin. Drain the moisture from the tofu with a paper towel. Combine the ground meat, tofu, and salt in a bowl and mix well.
2

Add the edamame to the bowl from Step 1 and mix.
3

Scoop out 6-7 portions with a spoon. Form them into balls to fry neatly.
4

Deep-fry in 160°C oil. They will fall apart if you touch them right after placing them in the oil, so leave them alone for about 1 minute. After about 1 minute, you can gently tidy up the shape.
5

While turning them around in the oil, deep-fry until every side is golden brown.
6

They're done. If deep-frying in the morning is too much work, you can deep-fry them beforehand, let them cool completely, and then store them in the freezer. Keep them in a freezer-type storage bag and stock them in the freezer.

I cut them in half and pack them in the bento box for my first-year kindergartener.
