Ingredients  

  • 16 ounce bag of frozen edamame in a shell
  • 2 tbsp Salt
  • Water, as needed
  • 2 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic, chopped or minced
  • Vegetable oil, enough to glaze the bottom of the wok
  • 1 pinch dried chili flakes
  • 3 tbsp shoyu
  • additional sesame oil, as needed

Instructions 

  • 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.
