For Bento Box Color: Edamame Skewers

Perfect for bento boxes! Just skewer edamame for a cute, colorful, and easy-to-eat addition. Great when you don't want to bother boiling leafy greens.
Recipe background:
I make bento lunches for my daughter’s part-time job. I usually add spinach or broccoli for a pop of green, but when I don’t feel like boiling veggies, I use this! In winter, I use chilled edamame from the convenience store.

Cooking Instructions

Picks with bumps or ridges at the tip can crush the edamame. Use a smooth, thin pick if possible.

In season, use boiled edamame! You can also use frozen or chilled edamame from the store.
- 3
Remove the edamame beans from the pods. Prepare a few extra in case some get crushed.
- 4
Hold each edamame bean vertically on its narrow side and skewer through the center, one at a time.
- 5
Each edamame bean has a rounded side and a flat side. For a neat look, align the beans so the same side faces outward.

Keep a careful eye on it while cooking.-If using salt please add 2/3 teaspoon. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 cookpad.japan -
