                    Sake adds subtly sweet flavor to balance the tanginess of the vinegar. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                2 cups frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans)  |  
                                                2 cups (1-inch) sliced haricots verts  |  
                                                1 cup vertically sliced red onion  |  
                                                1 (15-ounce) can dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained  |  
                                                1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained  |  
                                                1/3 cup rice vinegar  |  
                                                3 tablespoons sake  |  
                                                1 tablespoon olive oil  |  
                                                2 teaspoons brown sugar  |  
                                                1 teaspoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Cook the edamame according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Cool to room temperature; place in a medium bowl. 2. Cook haricots verts in boiling water 1 minute or until crisp-tender. Drain and plunge beans into ice water; drain. Add haricots verts, onion, kidney beans, and black beans to edamame. 3. Combine vinegar and remaining ingredients in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Drizzle sake mixture over bean mixture; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally. Stir just before serving.                              |
