    Japanese Inspired Edamame Miso Hummus

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This Edamame Miso Hummus is inspired by Japanese flavors and my friend Gina from Healthy Little Vittles.

    Edamame Miso Hummus

    Healthy Little Vittles

    Who is my friend Gina you ask... well she is amazing awe inspiring woman who changed her life for the better with food.    We met through Broma Bakery's Online Food Photography Course and noticed our photography style is quite similar.  We also started our food blogs just a month apart and we both try to balance taking care of our babies and our businesses from the comfort of our homes.  Now we talk and chat via Instagram and if she didn't live so far away I would of met her already.

    She is a certified Health Coach and on top of that she also provides mentorship on food photography so if any of you need any tips she would be the person I would reach out too.

    Edamame Miso Hummus

    I wanted to share one of my favorite recipes of hers with a little twist, because that is what I do!  It's actually not far from Gina's original recipe.  You'll see why in a moment.

    Edamame Miso Hummus

    Now the beauty of dips in general is that you throw everything in a food processor and your done!  To make this Edamame Miso Hummus, you of course start with some edamame.  You can find a bag easily in the frozen section of any market now.  However if you are lucky you might find some fresh at the farmers market.  I've only come across it once and I have to say it was the best edamame I've had.

    Japanese Inspired Flavors

    In Gina's recipe she used sesame oil, so that got me thinking that I can bring forward more Japanese flavors by adding some fresh ginger, garlic and miso.  While it was blitzing in the food processor I noticed that the green color was not as strong, so I added a touch of wasabi and some matcha sesame salt.  That brought the color back and also added a touch of spice and earthiness.  To finish and garnish the dish I drizzled more sesame oil and dusted more of the matcha sesame salt.

    Grazing Platter

    You all know how I love a grazing platter and this Edamame Miso Hummus provided a great starting point on putting one together.  I roasted some veggies I bought at the farmers market with some olive oil and salt and pepper.

    Then I added some fresh baby tomatoes and slices of cucumber.  A little bowl of truffle marcona almonds  and some wedges of nectarine give a nice counter balance to Japanese flavors.

    Instead of crackers or bread I opted with some nori sheets and it made for a makeshift vegan hand roll! Adding a little bit of Japan to my normal platters was a nice change and would so do it again.

      My sister in law has a real love of different kinds of hummus. When we do our next potluck, I'll smile because I know I'm going to get to try some new twist on a great dip. I'll have to beat her to the apps selection so I can surprise her with this gem.

      I'm not allowed to have edamame anymore because of a soy intolerance, and that's killing me right now because this looks SO GOOD!

      The hubs bought a huge bag of edamame at the grocery store a few weeks ago and I've been trying to find recipes to use them up in. We love edamame roasted, and boiled but this recipe takes the flavor to the next level!

      That sounds so good! I love using miso as a flavoring, and it should give this such depth of flavor!

      I love the texture of edamame hummus! The addition of miso is such a great idea for a boost in flavor. The wasabi must give it the perfect amount of kick.
