Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams edamame (in pods, frozen)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (toasted)
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 400 grams of frozen edamame in pods. Cook for 5 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Lower the heat slightly and add the cooked edamame to the skillet, tossing to coat in the garlic and olive oil.
Pour in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice. Stir well to distribute evenly among the edamame pods.
Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of chili flakes, 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper over the edamame. Toss again to combine.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the seasoning mixture is fully absorbed, and the edamame is heated through.
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. Serve warm or at room temperature.
