# Asian-Infused Tacos The Edamame Egg Salad Offers a Twist to the Classic Sandwich By Leslie Chen | Published 2012-02-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edamame-egg-salad References: [spabettie](http://spabettie.com/2012/02/01/edamame-egg-salad/) & [spabettie](http://spabettie.com/about-2/) I could probably eat egg salad every day, so you can imagine my delight when stumbling upon this Edamame Egg Salad concoction. I would never think to combine these two items together, but the Spabettie food blog has found a way to mix Oriental flavors with a classic Western favorite to create a delicious new meal. The Edamame Egg Salad mixes the [light bean snack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biena-crispy-edamame) into your egg salad to create a fresh, yet distinct flavor. Spabettie has also opted for a [taco wrap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egglife-foods-1) to serve the egg salad on rather than a regular piece of bread. The result is a mixture of different flavors and customs coming together to create an exciting new dish. Although Spabettie’s recipe features [tofu for a vegan option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saucy-tofu-meal-kits), you can easily replace the tofu with egg if you prefer. Try the Edamame Egg Salad for a healthy and fresh alternative for your next meal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Asian-fusion Food:** Explore the combination of Asian flavors with Western classics for innovative and delicious meals. - **Creative Wraps:** Experiment with using taco wraps or other creative alternatives to traditional bread for a unique dining experience. - **Vegan Recipes:** Discover new ways to incorporate plant-based proteins, like edamame, into traditional dishes for a healthier and sustainable diet. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Restaurants and food companies can capitalize on the growing trend of Asian-infused tacos and create unique menu offerings. - **Culinary Arts:** Chefs and culinary professionals can explore the blend of Asian and Western flavors to create innovative and exciting dishes. - **Health and Wellness:** Health-conscious individuals and companies can embrace vegan recipes like the Edamame Egg Salad as a nutritious and sustainable meal option. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Eggless Salads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggless-salad.md) - [Japanese-Style Egg Salad Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanesestyle-egg-salad-sandwich.md) - [Ready-Made Egg Salads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-egg-salad.md) - [Egg Mousse Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggcado-breakfast-sandwich.md) - [Egg-Infused Avocado Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-egg.md) - [Viral Egg Tasting Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-flights.md) - [Homestyle Egg-Free Scrambles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amys-kitchen-frozen-breakfast.md) - [Ready-to-Eat Vegan Egg Scramble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-egg-scramble.md) - [Protein Breakfast Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-breakfast-tacos.md)
