Equipment

Ingredients

3 cups of water
1 (12-ounce) bag of frozen edamame
1 tablespoon of neutral oil
4 cloves of garlic minced
2 teaspoons of chili paste of Sriracha
1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
3 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup of green onions thinly sliced (optional)
Sesame seeds garnish (optional)

Instructions

Add 3 cups of water to a large pan with a lid. Bring to a boil and add the edamame. Cook for 2 minutes and then transfer it to a colander. Run cold water to cool them and stop the cooking process.
Dry the pan, heat it over medium-high, and heat the oil. Add the garlic and edamame. Saute until the garlic is slightly browning.
Add the chili paste, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Mix well and cook for 30 seconds over high heat.
Turn off the heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Optionally garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Don’t overcook the edamame: Frozen edamame is already blanched, so it only takes a few minutes to prepare – perfect when tender but slightly firm.

Adjust the spice: Reduce or increase the amount of chili paste to preference.

Include a discard bowl: The pods themselves aren’t edible, so serve them with a bowl for the discarded pods.

Serve with napkins: Including spicy sauce for edamame makes this snack a little messy, so make sure to include napkins.
