How to quickly peel edamame

Whole grains are very nutritious, and many people like to buy some whole grains to eat in daily life, but it takes some time to process the ingredients, such as edamame. Edamame tastes great whether it is boiled or fried. For people who like to drink, a plate of edamame is a very pleasant thing. However, when handling edamame, you may hurt your hands if you are not careful. So is there a good way to avoid this from happening? Here are some tips for processing edamame.

Method 1: Peeling by hand

1. First, pinch the stalk of the edamame upright, and remove the silk on one side of the edamame when breaking it off.

2. Use both hands to hold the edamame between your thumb and index finger, holding the tips on both sides. Make sure the side of the thread you pulled off in the first step is facing you.

3. Use your thumb to push hard on the upper shell of the bean and it will open.

5. Edamame has two seeds, three seeds, and four seeds. Use your thumb and index finger to pinch two beans and they will fall off. Note that the other side of the shell that has not fallen off is facing the palm of your hand. Don’t complain that the process is complicated. In fact, it doesn’t take much time. Only by following the process can you ensure that the subsequent steps proceed smoothly.

Method 2: Use a toothpick

1. Use a tooth to insert it from the back of the edamame (the side with the strings).

2. Then move the toothpick along this line.

3. In this way, you can make a small cut and it will open with a slight bend, making it easy to peel. If you peel it like this, your fingers won't hurt no matter how much you peel.

Although this method is slower than using your fingers directly, it is indeed very good for your hands.

Method 3: Cook and peel

Pour the edamame pods into a small pot, add appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil, then simmer for a while, then immediately pour into cold water, then gently squeeze with your hands and the edamame grains will come out. This method is very easy to use. It not only saves time and effort, but also the edamame grains will not be damaged in any way. They are as round as raw beans, and the dishes made from them are also very good-looking. Rinse the edamame, pour it into a pot and bring to a boil, then simmer for 3 minutes, then pour into a basin of cold water and change from "peeling" to "squeezing".
