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.
Cup of Yum
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.
