Pork Keema Curry with Edamame.
Seasonal recipes to enjoy
early summer vegetables and
"Yume no Daichi"
In this sixth installment of "Seasonal Recipes" using "Yume no Daichi" and seasonal ingredients,
we introduce a dish using edamame,
a vegetable that is in season from June to July and in October.
Just the addition of edamame to keema curry makes it colorful and stimulates the appetite.
The refreshing tomato-based flavor makes it a dish you will want to eat even in the hot summer months when your appetite wanes.

Point
- Add the edamame last. Do not overcook, or the color will change.
Edamame is one of the foods that easily lose their freshness.Therefore, the trick is to boil them while they are fresh.Here is how to select fresh edamame.
- BRIGHT GREEN
- As edamame loses freshness, it turns yellowish. Select fresh and bright green ones. Also, edamame with branches are fresher.
- THE PODS ARE PLUMP
- Good edamame are characterized by plump pods. Select those with a clear nape when viewed from the side.
- STRONG DOWNY HAIR
- As the freshness of the green soybeans declines, the downy hair of the green soybeans becomes less visible. If the green soybeans have strong downy hair, it is proof that the green soybeans are fresh.
Keep these three points in mind when purchasing fresh and delicious edamame.
