Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pint edamame (in the pod, fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
If using frozen edamame, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the edamame pods and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside. If using fresh edamame, rinse thoroughly and follow the same cooking instructions.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Add the cooked edamame pods to the skillet, tossing to evenly coat them in the sesame oil and garlic mixture.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the edamame and continue tossing to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the red pepper flakes, ground black pepper, and sea salt over the edamame, stirring to incorporate the spices evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soy sauce to slightly caramelize.
Transfer the spiced edamame to a serving bowl and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve warm as a flavorful appetizer or side dish.
