Asian Spicy Garlic Edamame – an easy, totally addicting snack or side dish – is a flavor explosion in your mouth!
Spicy Garlic Edamame
Have you ever ordered steamed edamame at a Japanese restaurant? Well, these Spicy Garlic Edamame are even better, thanks to the spicy sauce made with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, cayenne, and honey. They are finger-licking good and super easy to make. Edamame is a great plant based source of protein! More edamame recipes I love, Edamame Fried Rice, Spicy Sriracha Tofu Rice Bowls, Edamame Hummus, and Spiralized Raw Zucchini Salad with Avocado and Edamame to name a few.
This spicy snack is so flavorful and made with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Trust me, make them once, and you’ll be making them again and again! If you cook 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.
What goes well with edamame?
This spicy edamame would be excellent as a side dish with California Shrimp Sushi Stacks, Cauliflower Fried Rice, General Tso Chicken, or Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry. You could also serve it as a snack or appetizer for a party or football game with these Shrimp Egg Rolls.
Variations:
- Thaw your edamame overnight in the refrigerator or microwave for a couple of minutes to defrost.
- Use shelled edamame instead of in the pods.
- Swap edamame with green beans or snap peas.
- If you love the spicy garlic sauce, serve it over your favorite roasted vegetables, like broccoli or cauliflower, for a side dish.
- Sub soy sauce for gluten-free soy sauce, coconut aminos, or tamari to make the edamame gluten-free.

Was going to make these today but from the sound of the comments you just eat the bean inside not the shell along with the bean inside. Is that right?
I ask a question but didn’t get an answer. Again is the shell not edible?
No, the shell is not edible.

I make these using just a scant tsp of cornstarch with the soy sauce. The yummy sauce sticks better.
This recipe is great! Loved it!
This recipe is great! Loved it!
For calorie count without the shells: measure out 5 cups edamame in the pod, shell them and put them in a measuring cup. However much they amount to is going to be the same 152 calories since you don't eat the shell. If there's too much sauce, double or triple the edamame amount, eat them with joy, and plan your daily caloric intake accordingly.
Just made these -fantastic!!!!
I made this last night and it was delicious! Excellent recipe, highly recommend others giving it a try. Plus not hard to make at all.
Wow ! This looks amazing.

I recently tried edamame for the first time. I love teriyaki sauce so I drizzled it over the top (which made it much better!) but your recipe looks like something I would like. I will have to try it! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
I can't wait for you to post the shrimp sushi roll you served this with on Snapchat so I can put them on my menu!!
Would this recipe work with green beans?
Sure!
This looks delicious but I can't try it as I can't find these in rural France where I live 🙁 Going to try it with broad beans or sugar snaps. What do you think? 🙂
Would be wonderful!
Yes you can make this with shelled edamame, but since I have not made it that way I'm not sure of the quantity conversion .
Has anyone tried making these with shelled edamames? The pods are not edible and I would think it would be more convenient to make with the shelled ones.
I love garlic, and this spicy garlic Edamame is amazing,
These look amazing!
That's a great flavor combo idea! I'll try it!
I'd also love to know the equivical amount of edamame out of the shell (I have some in the freezer right now!) Thanks, this looks great.
Can you eat this cold? Was wondering if it would be a good at a tailgate this weekend?
It best warm
Do they have to be served warm? Wondering if it would work to take to a tailgate??
Thanks!
I would also love to hear if it's OK to make the sauce and toss with defrosted frozen edamame, no shells. Thanks!
Sure, would be great
I would like to use edamame beans that are not in the shell… would that change this recipe at all? I don't think so, but wanted your opinion.
The calories would change so I would keep the serving size less but sure, would be great.
So do you eat the whole thing? I'm not familiar with edamame.
I suck the beans out,don't eat the shell.
Edamame are soybeans in a shell (like peas) very high in fiber. You may remove the beans from the shell by hand or simply suck them out, that way you enjoy the sauce that coating the shell.
I recently ordered these at a Japanese restaurant and LOVED them!!! Thank you for posting this recipe.
