Edamame Tofu Dip
- Yield: 3 cups
Ingredients
- 1cup (225 g) silken tofu
- 2cups (290 g) frozen shelled edamame
- 2teaspoons kosher or sea salt
- 3tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2tablespoons asian sesame oil
- 1teaspoon finely minced garlic
- 1teaspoon sugar
- 1teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4cup (15 g) minced cilantro/fresh coriander leaves, plus springs for garnish
Instructions
Drain the tofu and blot completely dry with paper towels/absorbent paper. Set the tofu on several thicknesses of paper while you cook the edamame.
Fill a medium saucepan two-thirds full of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the edamame and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and boil for 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water. Drain again and blot to remove excess moisture.
In the workbowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, process the tofu, edamame, the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt, the lemon juice, sesame oil, garlic, sugar, and pepper until very smooth. Scatter the minced cilantro/fresh coriander leaves over the top and pulse to incorporate. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with cilantro/fresh coriander.
