Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Edamame Pods (frozen and unshelled)
- 5 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Brown Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and chili flakes. Set aside.

- Assemble the Dish: Add the frozen edamame pods directly into the skillet. Stir to coat with the garlic oil.

- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot with an extra sprinkle of sea salt or chili flakes on top if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for a more intense flavor.
- Dry the edamame before adding to the pan to avoid splattering.
- Double the chili flakes if you love extra heat.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
