In cinema, mad enthusiast recalled, they ate Japanese appetiser (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edamame

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'they ate japanese appetiser' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'in cinema mad enthusiast recalled' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'recalled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'emamade' is hidden in the letters of 'cinema mad enthusiast'.
'emamade' in reverse letter order is 'EDAMAME'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for edamame that I've seen is " type of bean".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
