Garlic & Chili Edamame

Garlic & Chili Edamame

When I was in Taipei, Taiwan, although with tons of snacks and street food to select from, my favourite will still be the edamame from the famous 老天禄 located at Xi Men Ding.

老天禄 is actually famous for the braised items and the queue are pretty long. This stall is also Andy Lau’s must go stall whenever he is in Taiwan for their duck tongue. I didn’t really like their duck tongue but since I was in Xi Men Ding, I must get something from this stall. I picked a few items and edamame was one of them. The moment the edamame hit my tongue, I knew that’s it. Without fail, I returned to Xi Men Ding every night just to get this edamame. Actually this snack is very common in Taiwan. It is serves as appetiser in restaurant or you can even get it off their 7-eleven store. But as many as I have tried, no one have the taste of 老天禄 – Garlicky & Salty with hint of spiciness yet not overpowering, very flavourful unlike some just have flat salty taste.

Surprisingly, it is very very easy to make. In 5 mins, you can get this on your table from your kitchen. This can be serve hot or cold. Make lots and have it both way – 1st half freshly hot and the other half as snacks when you are watching tv shows or when having drinks with your friends. 很好下酒的哦
