Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 1 (12-ounce) bag frozen edamame
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons chili paste or Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a large pan with a lid. Add the frozen edamame and cook for 2 minutes.
- Drain the edamame and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
- Dry the pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add neutral oil and minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic starts to brown slightly.
- Add the cooked edamame, chili paste, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir well and cook for 30 seconds on high heat.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Do not overcook the edamame—frozen edamame is already blanched and only needs a short cook time.
- Adjust the spice level to taste by varying the amount of chili paste.
- Serve with a discard bowl for the inedible pods and napkins for easy cleanup.
