Last week I got a pack of frozen edamame from Sultan Center and tonight I decided to have it for dinner. As I mentioned previously the instructions for cooking the edamame are in Japanese but a lot of users helped me out by telling me how they prepare edamame.
I decided to boil some water in a large pot first. Once the water started boiling I dropped the edamame inside and let it boil for 6 minutes. I then removed the pot from the cooker and drained all the water. I placed the edamame in a large bowl and then sprayed a lot of salt all over it.
Result? Restaurant perfect. It tasted exactly like the edamame I have at Maki and Wasabi. The only problem is you need to eat them before they cool down and since Nat is in Beirut I had to eat the whole pack as quickly as I could before the edmame got cold. Took me 14 minutes to finish the whole pack and I think I’ve overdosed on the edamame, but it was worth it.
Does anyone know how I can make the spicy sauce Maki use with their fried edamame?

I just passed by a new japanese food shop. It looks really cool. It sells all types of japanese food and the guy there told me soon they will even be cooking! Its called Meli Melo and its located in Shaab near curves. If you dont know where that is, its on the street behind Flex but around 300 mtrs farther to the right of flex. Check it out they also sell edamame!
the Two nice Japanese restaurant in Kuwait!
Maki and Wasabi are the best Japanese restaurant in Kuwait (in my opinion) however there is something wrong in there. for instance, I went to Wasabi with some relatives, I checked with the restaurant for the last order and it was 23:30 we went and we ordered and @ 24:00 sharp they start closing the restaurant and had the nerves to come and ask us to Leave “cause the transportation for the restaurant staff was waiting outside”!!!! my point is if you make the last order @ 11:30, at least grant people an hour to eat decently. @ maki, I felt that they reduced the portions and kept same prices. Sashimi slices were reduced to almost half.
