Edamame Ravioli Recipe
Yield: 30-40 each

1 package edamame, out of pod
1/2 onion, julienne
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 quart water

Place the above ingredients into a sauce pot and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to a simmer and let cook for 30 minutes.

8 ounces fresh spinach

Turn heat off and add in fresh spinach. Stir to incorporate, until it wilts. Strain through a fine china cap and reserve liquid. Place strained ingredients into a Cuisinart and begin to puree. Slowly add the broth back into the Cuisinart to get a smooth consistency (discard leftover broth).

1 tbsp unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Next, add in the above ingredients and continue to blend.

1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup Panko

Take out of Cuisinart and place in a pan. Add in Panko and chopped cilantro. Mix well to incorporate to a firm texture. Let chill.

1 package won ton wrapper
1/2 cup cornstarch slurry

Place won ton wrapper on a flat surface and spoon 1/2 ounce of the edamame puree in to the center of the wrapper. Brush edges with slurry, then fold wrapper over and press edges firmly to seal. Continue to repeat process until all the filling is done.

Once you have finished the edamame raviolis, cook in a pot of boiling water for about 1-2 minutes. Take out and chill in an ice bath. Take out of ice bath and pat dry with paper towels.

1 tbsp olive oil

In a heated sauté pan, add oil and place the ravioli inside to sear. Sear until slightly crispy, then flip and repeat on the other side.

Once the reduction is au sec, add in the heavy cream and bring back to a boil. Turn heat down and let simmer until slightly thickened. Using a whisk, slowly add in the softened butter. Squeeze in lemon juice and season to taste. Strain through a fine chinois.

2 tbsp wasabi powder
