    A flavor explosion in a bowl, this spicy Wasabi Edamame Dip is tasty and high in protein

    Wasabi Edamame Dip from Living Well Kitchen @memeinge

    Since I have a massive container of edamame in my fridge right now, I decided I'd make a dip with edamame. I've made edamame hummus before and it was good.

    But I wanted something different.

    For this Wasabi Edamame Dip, I used wasabi (obviously), sesame seeds, soy sauce, lime juice, and cayenne pepper to give it tons of flavor. It's like a flavor explosion up in this here dip!

    I love serving dips with sliced veggies (or sliced fruit if that is more appropriate -- like cookie dough dip).

    Feel free to change the amount of heat in the dip by adjusting how much wasabi and cayenne pepper you use.

    Personally, I like things spicy so I used a heavy hand when adding the amounts. But it's up to you.

    Hold up! Do you even know what edamame is?

    They're soybeans, and you can read all about edamame here.

        Yes! I didn't know it until know, but I believe that "mukimame" is the correct term for the shelled edamame. You simply want the soybeans out of the pods.
