Hey guys – I’m back! Did you miss me?
Before we get to #MMAZ for the week, I have to apologize one more time for the mess of issues on my blog last week. I have no idea how things broke when I was away from the computer, but they did, which meant many people didn’t get a chance to see who won the anniversary week giveaways, comment on the amazing guest blog posts, or really do much of anything on the blog. I think everything has been restored back to normal, but please do let me know if you are having any problems today!
I originally attempted my edamame recipe before vacation – a miso & edamame soup that was okay…but I wasn’t excited about sharing it with you. I almost didn’t share a recipe at all today, but I decided to give it another try on Sunday night.
And bonus…I had a special guest taste-tester in the house to help me validate the recipes!
You guys have seen Mark on the blog before, but he’s our first (non-family) visitor to Colorado!! Did you notice he’s doing a plank while posing with the food tonight?
This is NOT a complicated recipe, but simplicity can be very good!
- +For Napa Salad:
- 1/2 cup napa cabbage, sliced
- 1/8 cup thinly sliced red onions
- 2 tablespoons edamame (shelled, I used frozen)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chinese 5 spice seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 pinches sea salt
- +For Kale Salad:
- 3-4 cups loosely packed kale, torn
- 1/4 cup edamame
- 2 teaspoons mellow white miso
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Bragg’s aminos
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- For the Napa Salad:
- Combine rice vinegar through sea salt and mix well. Lay out cabbage, red onions, and edamame – sprinkle with dressing. Serve!
- For the Kale Salad:
- Combine the miso through apple cider vinegar and mix well. Massage into kale for 3-5 minutes and add edamame. Serve!
Of the two edamame recipes tonight, Kirk preferred the Kale salad and Mark preferred the Napa salad – I’m taking that as a sign that there’s something here for everyone!
And now it’s time to get back to watching Dr Who and the dinosaurs – so it must be your turn to share your Edamame #MMAZ recipes!
