そらまめ | broad bean

I was rather surprised to hear from a friend of mine (born in the States and lived in couple South-East Asian countries) that he did not know how to eat broad beans (or そらまめ in Japanese). This crop has been so familiar to me. And a Polish-born family of mine knew of it pretty well. This is why I did not expect one would not know... Well it is good to hear sometimes that my perception is not ubiquitous.

そらまめ goes pretty well with beer, which some people around me claim. How to cook?

Prepare some water boiled, peel beans, cook them with as much as salt you want for 3 min or even a bit shorter. It's as simple as this.

Give it a try.
