Ingredients
Scale
Edamame
- 1 (10 ounce) bag frozen edamame in the pod
Sauce & Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Flaky sea salt for serving
Instructions
- Boil Edamame: In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the frozen edamame pods and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender. Turn off the heat and let stand for 1 minute. Drain the edamame and set aside.
- Prepare Garlic Chili Oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and immediately add the minced garlic, sriracha, and crushed red pepper flakes. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes so the flavors meld and the garlic gently cooks in the warm oil.
- Make the Sauce: Whisk the low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari), honey, and fresh lime juice into the infused garlic chili oil until well combined.
- Toss Edamame: Add the drained edamame pods to the skillet (or a mixing bowl) and gently toss them in the sauce to coat evenly.
- Serve: Transfer the coated edamame to a serving dish, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top, and serve immediately while warm for the best taste.
Notes
- You can substitute tamari for soy sauce to keep the dish gluten-free.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha and crushed red pepper flakes to control the spiciness according to your preference.
- Serve the edamame warm for optimal flavor, but they can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
- For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best citrus flavor instead of bottled lime juice.
