How to save bulk frozen edamame beans
1. Select edamame
First of all, when we buy edamame after we get home, we have to do a simple selection first, pick out the edamame that has already infested with insects, or have deteriorated, and throw it away.
Because these spoiled edamame is very unfavorable for subsequent preservation. If it is not thrown away, it will affect the preservation of other edamame, resulting in mildew or even rot during the preservation process. After the edamame is selected, it should be washed briefly with clean water first.
2. Soak in salt water
Prepare a large bowl, add an appropriate amount of water to the bowl, then add a tablespoon of salt, and stir and melt the salt with chopsticks to make salt water for later use.
After the salt water is prepared, we need to add the prepared edamame to the salt water, and use the salt water to soak the edamame for 5 minutes. Soaking edamame in salt water can not only remove impurities and sterilize bacteria, but also effectively increase the storage time of edamame.
3. Rub, wash and oil
After soaking the edamame, we need to wash it by hand. Because there is a layer of fascia on the surface of edamame, this layer of fascia can be rubbed off after being soaked in salt water. If it is not disposed of, it will affect the taste of edamame.
Knead the cleaned edamame, drain it, add it to three layers of hot oil, stir-fry the edamame for one minute, stir-fry the edamame until it is tender green, immediately remove it from the oil and let it cool.
4. Sealed storage in fresh-keeping bags
After the edamame cools down, we need to prepare a clean fresh-keeping bag, then scoop the edamame into the fresh-keeping bag, and squeeze out the air inside. Finally, you only need to tie the mouth of the bag tightly, and then put the edamame in the refrigerator for refrigerated storage.
When using ziplock bags to store edamame, there is no need to put everything in one ziplock bag. We can prepare a few more fresh-keeping bags, and then put about 200 grams of edamame into each fresh-keeping bag. In this way, when eating edamame, you only need to take a small bag and thaw it, and then you can cook it, which saves time and effort.
