Source text - English MORE FROM THE FIELDS: THE SOYBEAN IN ITS MULTIPLE GUISES
The second most important source of food to the Japanese is the soybean. This versatile vegetable is prepared and consumed in manifold ways, and is one of the major foundations of Japanese cooking. The bean grows in a small hairy pod on a low (about two to three feet, or 60 to 80 cm, tall) annual bush. Each pod contains from one to five small fingernail-sized seeds. The pods and beans are green until harvest, but are then dried. Once dried the pod splits open easily to reveal the beige seeds. Soybeans also come in green and black.
There is one delicious alternative to be tried even before the pods have dried. In the summer, grocers display large bunches of green soy pods (edamame) in bunches. The pods are stripped from the branches and dropped into boiling salted water to very briefly blanch, no more than two to three minutes, depending on the beans’ maturity. Their green color intensifies and, after draining, the pods are plunged into cold water to stop cooking and retain the lovely color. They are good served either slightly warm or chilled, with perhaps a scattering of more salt, with a frosty glass of beer or saké. To eat, the pod is brought to the lips, squeezed, and out pops one or more of the beans with a wondrous nutty sweetness and aroma, accentuated by the salty pod: like eating peanuts or popcorn, it is impossible to stop eating the beans. Eda-mame are also available frozen and ready to cook.
Translation - French LE SOJA, UNE CÉRÉALE AUX MULTIPLES FACETTES
Le soja est un des fondements de la cuisine japonaise, consommé sous forme de graine, de sauce ou de pâte fermentée, il s’illustre autant par son goût que par ses qualités nutritionnelles. Les tiges de soja ont une longueur de 60 à 80 cm, sur lesquelles poussent leurs fruits, des gousses velues contenant de deux à cinq graines. Les gousses et leurs graines sont de couleur verte jusqu’à la récolte. Elles sont ensuite séchées, la gousse s’ouvre alors et révèle ses graines, le plus souvent de couleur beige mais pouvant aussi être noires ou vertes.
Une délicieuse alternative pour déguster ces graines avant qu’elles ne soient séchées, est sous la forme des edamame qui remplissent les étales durant la saison estivale. Les gousses sont récoltées sur l’arbre et mises à bouillir dans de l’eau salée. Leur temps de cuisson dépend de la maturité des graines mais en général, il est de deux à trois minutes. Lors de la cuisson la couleur verte des gousses s’intensifie, elles sont ensuite plongées dans de l’eau froide et conservent ainsi leur belle couleur. Les edamame sont appréciés chauds ou froids, légèrement salés et accompagnés d’une bière bien fraiche ou de sake (alcool japonais obtenu à partir de la fermentation du riz). Pour les consommer, il suffit de mettre une gousse dans la bouche, de presser légèrement dessus avec les dents pour en faire sortir les graines. Les edamame ont un goût qui se rapproche de celui de la noisette, accentué par une touche sel. C’est un apéritif très réputé et tellement irrésistible qu’il est impossible de s’arrêter d’en manger, un peu comme lorsque notre main tombe dans un bol de cacahuète ou un paquet de pop-corn. Les edamame s’achète aussi sous forme congelée et déjà précuite.
