Ingredients
- 1 cup edamame (in pods), frozen or fresh
- 1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Cook Edamame: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then add the edamame pods. Boil for 5 minutes until they are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine finely minced garlic, chili flakes, and soy sauce.
- Toss Edamame with Seasoning: While the edamame is still warm, toss the pods with the garlic, chili flakes, and soy sauce mixture until evenly coated and aromatic.
Notes
- To remove the edamame from the pods, simply squeeze the beans out with your fingers or teeth while eating.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes depending on your spice preference.
- For extra flavor, you can add a drizzle of sesame oil or sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt intake if desired.
