Furikake is often referred to as rice sprinkles, but here, the salty-sweet, umami-rich Japanese condiment is a
seasoning—along with butter, soy and a whisper of lemon zest—for edamame. There are countless varieties of
furikake, but the most common is a mixture of shredded nori, sesame and bonito flakes, a combo that offers a
nice texture and flavor to this finger food. To get the most out of your seasoning, make sure the edamame pods
are well-drained but still hot before tossing.
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon salted butter, cut into a few pieces, room temperature
1 teaspoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
12 ounce bag frozen edamame in the pods, prepared according to package directions, drained well and
still hot
1½-2 tablespoons furikake
Kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large bowl, combine the butter, soy sauce and lemon zest. Add the hot edamame and toss until the butter is
melted and the pods are well coated. Sprinkle with the furikake, then toss again. Taste and season with salt, if
needed.
