Instructions
Edamame Hummus Instructions
- On medium speed, blend the tahini and lemon juice in a food processor for 30 seconds. Scrape the sides with a spatula and blend again for another 30 seconds or until the tahini and lemon juice has incorporated into a smooth paste.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and blitz in 30-second increments for about 2 minutes to break everything down. Continue scraping the sides after every increment to ensure no lumps remain.
- Add a tablespoon of water and pulverize again for 30 seconds. The edamame hummus will become much smoother and creamier. Add another tablespoon or two of water and blend a few times more if required. Try not to add too much water. Otherwise, the hummus will become too watery.
- Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl and drizzle it with some Sweet Chilli Oil.

Notes
Tips for making a good Edamame Hummus
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor to make edamame hummus for the best results; it will turn out much more creamy.
- The edamame hummus should be firm enough to scoop up, so avoid adding too much water.
- Remove the edamame skin one by one for a smoother texture.
- Steam the edamame until soft enough to blend easily in the food processor.
- Make the hummus a day ahead to let the flavour absorb into one another.
