Hummus in Japan

As I was stumbling around, I’ve found a nice site about hummus in Japan. Hummus World features restaurants reviews from around Japan and New York. There is also a nice recipe for hummus.

Unfortunately, the owner of Hummus World no longer operates the site. So we are left with only old reviews, but the recipe still seems great.

Hummus is considered to be a very popular dish around the world, especially for vegetarians. if you are interested The Hummus Blog is another great site about hummus from all around the world. The author seems to live in Israel, and covers hummus restaurants there.

By the way, if you really want a Japanese twist on the chickpea hummus, why not try a recipe for edamame hummus?

Ingredients

1 lb frozen shelled edamame

1/4 cup sesame oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

1 teaspoon wasabi powder (more or less to taste)

1 large garlic clove

Black pepper, to taste

1 cup water

Directions

Prepare frozen edamame according to packaged instructions (typically boiling for 4-5 minutes should suffice).

Drain cooked edamame and place back in pot with cold water. Allow edamame 10 minutes to cool.

Place edamame in food processor. Add all ingredients. Puree in food processor. Add water slowly through the drip top, until desired thickness is reached.

Serve with baby carrots, cucumber slices, or other vegetables.
