- 12 ounces frozen edamame in pods
- 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sambal oelek or Sriracha
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the edamame pods and boil for 2 minutes. Remove promptly and drain. Then set the pods on a paper towel to drain off any remaining water.
In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, moving constantly in the pan to avoid burning.
Pour in the soy sauce, sambal oelek, sesame oil, and honey. Stir and simmer for 1 minute.
Put the edamame in a bowl. Pour on the sauce and toss to coat.
Serve garnished with sesame seeds.
