Spicy Garlic Edamame

Ever get steamed edamame at a Japanese restaurant? Well these are even better thanks to the spicy sauce made with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, cayenne and honey. They are finger-licking good, great as a snack, appetizer or side dish and super easy to make. Make it a meal served with California Shrimp Sushi Stacks, Cauliflower Fried Rice, General Tso Chicken or Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry.

Flavor explosion with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Trust me, make them once and you’ll be making them over and over again! Great for snacking while watching the game. If you make them, come back and leave a comment! I can’t wait to hear what you think.

How To Eat Edamame

The pod of the edamame is not edible, you only eat the beans inside the pod. To eat edamame, place one edamame pod in your mouth, slide out the edamame beans with your teeth, and discard the pods.
