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 StacksCauliflower Fried RiceGeneral 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.
