Cooking Tips

• Edamame are fresh soybeans (also called “sweet beans”) that look like bright green lima beans and have a sweet and mild flavor. Edamame are easy to digest and are exceptionally high in protein (1/2 cup has 16 grams). You’ll most likely find frozen, partially cooked edamame—in pods or shelled—but fresh ones might turn up at farmers’ markets or natural-foods stores. Use the bean (the pods are inedible) in salads and tossed into stir-fries or soups.
• Tofu or “soybean curd” is made by heating soymilk and a curdling agent in a process similar to dairy cheesemaking. Allowed to stand and thicken, the curds form silken tofu. When stirred and separated from the whey, the pressed curds, with their spongier texture, are known as “regular” tofu. The longer the pressing, the firmer and denser the tofu—soft, firm or extra-firm. Crumble and use instead of the meat in your favorite tuna or chicken salad recipe; dice and add to a vegetable stir-fry; add leftover silken tofu to smoothies.
• Tempeh is a chewy, nut-flavored soybean loaf (often combined with rice and millet) that has been allowed to ferment briefly. The grains are covered with a whitish mold, which is fully edible. Crumble a little into scrambled eggs, slice and sauté to make a veggie burger, or use like meat in stir-fries, stews or tomato sauce.
• Quinoa, often referred to as a “superfood” for its many nutritional benefits, is a delicately flavored grain that was a staple in the ancient Incas’ diet. It is available in most natural-foods stores and many supermarkets. Toasting the grain before cooking enhances its flavor and rinsing removes any residue of saponin, quinoa’s natural, bitter protective covering.
