Anyway, I saw the recipe for this pupu (appetizer in Hawaiian) in Gourmet Magazine's January issue. I also saw it being served here. (I think it may be a trendy thing in Hawaii now)...stir fried soybeans with garlic and chile.
Another easy dish to make and really good with BEER!
Stir Fried Soybeans with Garlic & Chile
from Gourmet January 2007--adapted from Pineapple Room
1 lb. soybean (frozen in shell)
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
2 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoon minced, peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoon minced garlic
Cook soybeans in 5-6 quart pot of unsalted water for 5 minutes then drain in colander.
Stir together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
Heat wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates immediately.
Add vegetable oil, swirling to coat wok. Add ginger & garlic and stir fry until fragrant (about 15 seconds). Add soybeans, stir fry until lightly charred (about 2-3 minutes).
Add soy sauce mixture and stir fry until soybeans are coated and most of liquid has evaporated (about 1 minute).
Enjoy!

NOTES: I used fresh soybeans for this recipe. The flavor of the sauce is very addicting and leaves a little sting on your lips after you have eaten a few.

Gotta try this some time. Will it replace the plain soybeans with Hawaiian salt? That will be hard to beat for drinking with beer. The Okinawans love it too!
I don't think it could replace the plain soybeans with salt, Nate. But it really is addicting. My mom also said that they are selling these at bazaars, so it must be the trend.
Take care.

MMmm, I love soybeans/edamame so so so much! I rarely have them with anything other than a little salt, but I think I'll definitely have to try this!
Thanks Ellie, I hope you like this version!
Take care.
