Ingredients
- 300 g /10oz frozen edamame in the pods ((ie not shelled), preferably not brined (Note 1))
- 2 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
- 1 tbsp grapeseed oil ((or other plain flavoured oil))
- 2 tsp garlic (, finely minced)
- 1 tbsp sambal oelek (, adjust/omit to taste (Note 2))
- 2 tsp sesame oil (, toasted)
- 1 tbsp Japanese soy sauce ((sub light soy or all-purpose soy, NOT dark soy - Note 3))
- 1 tbsp mirin ((Note 4))
- 1/4 tsp miso paste ((any type, not critical if you omit))
- 1/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
Steps
-
Spicy garlic sauce - Heat the oil in a small pan over medium low heat. Cook the garlic until very light golden, then add everything else. Stir, then simmer on low for 1 minute. Remove from stove.
-
Edamame - Bring a large pot of water to the boil and add the salt. Put the frozen edamame in the water. Bring it back up to the boil then cook for 2 minutes (Note 5 - ignore the packet times, they always say too long!). Drain well, shaking off excess water.
-
Toss - Transfer edamame into a bowl, pour over sauce, toss. Transfer into a serving bowl - scrape out every drop of sauce! Serve warm or at room temperature.
-
To eat, pick up a sauce-slathered pod. Bite the pod so the soybeans pop out into your mouth, and suck all the sauce off the skin. Discard the skin, repeat and repeat!
