Ingredients
- 2 cup edamame shell-on
- 1 ½ teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- 2 teaspoon oil
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Start by cooking the shell-on edamame in a pot of boiling hot water for about 7-8 minutes.

- Now add the chili flakes, garlic powder, pepper, salt and soy sauce. Toss well.
- Sauté this for a few more minutes, take off heat and serve!
Notes
- To balance out the heat in the dish and to lend it a bit of sweetness, you can also add a teaspoon of honey, maple syrup or agave into the skillet towards the end, after you have taken it off heat.
- To quicken it up, spoon some chili garlic oil over the edamame while it is still in the skillet and toss well.
- You can also sprinkle some sesame seeds or crushed toasted peanuts over the finished dish to lend it a bit of a nutty flavor.
- Throw in other veggies like broccoli, asparagus, carrots, mushrooms, baby corn and bell peppers to the skillet along with the edamame if you want it to be a mixed vegetable medley.
- Want the dish to have that umami deliciousness? Add a dash of oyster sauce into the mix.
