Note: You can buy frozen shelled edamame from Asian supermarkets or buy them in their pods and shell them once the pods have thawed. You will need approximately 250 g edamame pods to produce 150 g shelled edamame.
Tip: To make it portable, cool the tofu mixture completely and transfer to airtight container/s. Place the lettuce leaves and chopped almonds in separate airtight containers for transportation. Keep chilled.
