Edamame Fritters

Course: Side Dish
Keyword: Level 1, Sides, Vegetarian
Servings: 3

Ingredients

  • 12 oz frozen shelled edamame Thawed.
  • ½ cup organic low sodium vegetable broth Plus up to an extra ¼ cup for pan frying as needed.
  • 1 egg white
  • ¼ Tbsp liquid aminos
  • ½ cup Panko bread crumbs
  • to taste cilantro or mint leaves Optional, minced or whole, for garnish.

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine the soybeans with the broth.
  • Slowly pulse to coarsely chop the soybeans. Continue pulsing, scraping down the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula as needed, until the mixture is coarsely mashed.
  • Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.
  • Add the egg white, liquid aminos and 1 tablespoon of the breadcrumbs to the bowl. Mix well.
  • Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the soybean mixture at a time and use your hands to press the soybean mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
  • Line a wire rack with parchment paper. In a large skillet set over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons vegetable broth.
  • Meanwhile, pour the remaining bread crumbs into a small bowl. Gently place the patties in the crumbs to coat them thoroughly on all sides.
  • Working in batches, “fry” the patties until crispy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the finished patties to the prepared rack. (These patties can be very fragile, so flip and transfer them gently.)
  • Continue adding small amounts of broth to the skillet, as needed, to fry each batch. Garnish with cilantro or mint, if desired. Enjoy!
