Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1.5 cups Edamame (shelled, frozen or fresh)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 stalks Scallions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
If using frozen corn or edamame, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the blanched corn and edamame to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to combine and heat through.
Mix in the sliced scallions and stir for 1 minute.
Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper (if using). Stir evenly to coat and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the water and let it steam the mixture gently for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the stir-fried corn and edamame to a serving dish and serve hot as a side or over steamed rice.
