Wok Charred Edamame

Summary

Yield	12 Servings

16 ounces

bag of frozen edamame in a shell

2 tablespoons

Salt

water, as needed

2 teaspoons

sesame oil

1 tablespoon

garlic, chopped or minced

vegetable oil, enough to glaze the bottom of the wok

1 pinch

dried chili flakes

3 tablespoons

shoyu

additional sesame oil, as needed

Heat a wok or skillet on high, add in vegetable oil to coat bottom of the wok.
Continue to heat the wok until it is scorching hot, and beginning to smoke.
Add in frozen edamame and let the vegetable oil lightly coat them.
Let the pods sit in the pan without moving to allow them to lightly char.
The steam will come off the frozen edamame, and you will see some that are lightly charred.
Toss the edamame and let the pods sit again so that more pods are lightly charred.
Add in the sesame oil and garlic.
Toss to evenly coat.
Once the aroma of the garlic starts to come out and the garlic is lightly cooked, deglaze with the shoyu.
Let the shoyu reduce and coat the pods.
Finish with the chili flakes.
Place in a serving bowl and garnish with additional sesame oil and alae salt.

You may add more or less shoyu and garlic to taste.
