Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Frozen edamame (in pods, unpeeled)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Cook the frozen edamame in the boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and rice vinegar. Set this sauce aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the cooked edamame into the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to coat the pods with the garlic and oil.
Pour in the prepared sauce and toss the edamame to coat evenly. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the pods.
Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a small pinch of salt if desired.
Transfer the spicy edamame to a serving bowl and garnish with sesame seeds, if using.
Serve immediately as a snack or side dish, eating the beans directly out of the pods by squeezing them with your fingers.
