SPICY GARLIC GINGER EDAMAME

Spicy Garlic Ginger Edamame image

This spicy garlic edamame is ridiculously simple to make and tastes amazing. Cooking edamame at home is easy and takes minutes. In the recipe, we cook the edamame in their shells. You don't actually eat the shells, though. To eat the beans inside, use your front teeth to scrape the beans out of their shell. They pop out really easily.

Ingredients

1 pound fresh or frozen edamame in their pods
1 tablespoon neutral oil like avocado, grape seed or safflower oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons light soy sauce or tamari
2 to 3 teaspoons pure maple syrup, sugar or honey
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 to 1 tablespoon Sambal Oelek or Sriracha

Steps:

Edamame can be made on the stovetop or in the microwave.
To boil edamame: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a teaspoon of salt. Add the edamame and return to a boil. Cook until bright green and heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
To microwave edamame: Place the edamame in a microwave-safe dish with 1/4 cup of water and a pinch of salt. Partially cover the dish with a plate, and then microwave on high until bright green and heated through. Depending on your microwave, this can take 1 to 5 minutes.
Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant, but before they brown, 30 to 60 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat, and then stir in the soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, and chili sauce.
Taste and adjust with additional maple syrup to balance out the soy sauce or more chili sauce to make it spicier.
Toss the edamame with the sauce and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 pound frozen edamame in pods (in the shell)
1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil*
1 small garlic clove
3/4 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt, plus more for the water
Spicy variation: add about 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce, to taste
Optional garnish: Toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the edamame and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Boil the edamame until bright green and tender, about 4 to 5 minutes, then drain.
Place the edamame in a bowl. Add the toasted sesame oil and salt, then grate the garlic clove into the bowl (using a microplane). Toss gently until everything is evenly coated, breaking up any clumps of the garlic that stick together. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm, with a smaller bowl for the discarded pods.
