Shelled Edamame Recipes

Shelled edamame are young green soybeans removed from the pod, making them quick to cook and easy to add to everyday recipes. Their mild, slightly sweet flavor and tender bite work well in both warm and chilled dishes.

Use them to boost protein and color in rice bowls, noodle salads, fried rice, vegetable stir-fries, ramen, soups, and pasta salads. They also blend into creamy dips, mash into spreads, or toss with sesame oil, garlic, chili crisp, or lemon for a fast side dish.

Most shelled edamame are sold frozen and only need a brief boil, steam, or microwave before using. They are a convenient pantry-friendly freezer staple for adding substance to vegetarian meals and quick weeknight recipes.
