This spicy edamame recipe is a quick and flavorful appetizer or snack made with tender edamame pods tossed in a garlicky, spicy sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound edamame in the pod, fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or toasted sesame oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (like sambal oelek), to taste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and generously salt it. Add edamame and cook until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in the chili garlic sauce and soy sauce. Cook for another 30 seconds.
  4. Add the cooked edamame to the skillet and toss well to coat with the sauce.
  5. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently until heated through and well-coated.
  6. Transfer to a bowl, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds (if using), and serve warm.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce to your preferred spice level.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Frozen edamame does not need to be thawed before boiling.
