Ingredients
For Cooking Edamame Beans
- 250 grams edamame - fresh or frozen
- 3 cups water or as needed
- 1 teaspoon salt for cooking the beans
- salt as required, to be sprinkled later on the edamame
For Spicy Edamame
- 2 tablespoons oil - any neutral oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic - minced, or 6 to 7 medium garlic cloves
- 250 grams edamame beans - steamed or boiled
- 1 teaspoon red chilli flakes or according to taste
- ½ teaspoon white pepper or black pepper or as required
- 2 teaspoon dark soy sauce or 1 to 2 teaspoons regular soy sauce or as required
- 2 teaspoons mirin
- 1 teaspoon raw sugar or as required, can add ½ teaspoon of white sugar instead
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon salt or as required
Instructions
Cooking Edamame
- Boil water with some salt on medium to high heat.
- When water begins to boil, add the edamame beans.
- Cook without lid for 8 to 12 minutes. If using instant pot, then steam using pressure cook function for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Frozen beans will cook faster than fresh beans. Also depending on the size of pods, they can take less or more time to cook.
- Strain all of the water once the beans are cooked.
- You can opt to shock the beans in ice cold water to retain color if you prefer.
- After draining all the water, transfer the beans onto a serving plate.
- Sprinkle some salt. Toss and mix the beans with the salt. Can serve hot or warm or at room temperature.

- Add minced garlic and sauté for a few seconds.
- Add the cooked edamame beans.

- Mix well and sauté for a minute.
- Season with salt, sugar and mirin.
- Mix and sauté for a minute on low heat.

Notes
- Instead of dark soy sauce, you can add light soy sauce or regular soys sauce. Add about 1 to 2 teaspoons of either.
- Ensure to use fresh and green edamame bean pods. You could also use frozen beans. Note that frozen edamame will take less time to cook than fresh edamame.
- For the salt, you can use either sea salt, pink salt, edible rock salt or kosher salt, or regular salt.
- Swap the mirin with rice vinegar and add a bit of sugar to balance the sourness of the vinegar.
- Note that the approximate nutrition info is for the cooked edamame and not the chilli garlic edamame.
