Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip traditionally made from chickpeas and tahini, a ground sesame paste. This version uses edamame with tahini and Asian seasonings like sesame, wasabi, and soy sauce for a delicious Japanese twist. Mirin a low-alcohol rice wine similar to sake adds a pleasing sweetness to mellow the spicier notes here. Look for edamame, already shelled and cooked, in the freezer section of your supermarket. Serve the hummus spooned into halved baby peppers or with any fresh vegetables or chips.
