Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Edamame (in pods or shelled)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (sliced, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the edamame by steaming them according to the package directions, or boil them in salted water for 4-5 minutes if fresh. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set this aside.
Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until it begins to gently bubble.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the skillet with the sauce. Cook while stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
Add the steamed edamame to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly with the sweet and sour sauce.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the edamame are well glazed.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sweet and sour edamame to a serving dish.
If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an extra layer of flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Enjoy!
