Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup edamame in pods (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional, for sautéing garlic)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Edamame: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the edamame pods. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the pods are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Spicy Seasoning: In a small pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Remove from heat.
  3. Toss Edamame with Seasoning: In a bowl, combine the cooked edamame with the sautéed garlic, chili flakes, and soy sauce. Toss well to evenly coat the pods with the spicy mixture.
  4. Serve Warm: Transfer the spicy edamame to a serving dish and enjoy as a delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, ensure the soy sauce used is vegan-friendly.
  • You can adjust the amount of chili flakes to control the level of spiciness.
  • If fresh edamame is unavailable, frozen edamame works perfectly.
  • Optionally, add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor.
