FOOD - EDAMAME DUMPLINGS

Ingredients

• 1 (1 pound) package frozen edamame (green soybeans), thawed
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 green onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 dash hot sauce
• 2 (12 ounce) packages small won ton wrappers
• 6 cups water
• 4 cubes chicken bouillon

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a boil. Add edamame and boil for 10 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water.

2. Place edamame in a food processor; turn processor on to low. Drizzle in 1/4 cup water and olive oil while continuing to process until combined. Turn off the food processor and add the sour cream, salt, pepper, green onion, garlic, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Process until mixture is smooth.

3. Place 1 teaspoon of the mixture in the center of each won ton wrapper. Bring 2 opposite corners of the wrapper together to form a triangle; pinch the edges closed. Bring farthest corners of the triangle together and overlap one another. Use a little bit of water on the corners and pinch them together to ensure they stay together.

4. Stir together 6 cups water and the bouillon cubes in a large, deep skillet over medium heat; bring to a gentle boil. Lay the wontons in the water, assuring they don't touch one another; cook until tender, about 5 minutes; plate. Ladle broth from skillet over won tons to serve.
