Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the water and sea salt to a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the edamame and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the edamame is tender and is easily released from their pods. Drain well.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet set over medium heat. Add the minced garlic gloves and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Mix in the boiled and drained edamame pods, soy sauce, and sugar. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • Best served warm.

Notes

  • Optional - Add 1-2 teaspoons of spicy chili sauce such as Sambal Oelek or Sriracha for spicy garlic edamame.
  • Leftovers - Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
