Sweet and Spicy Soy Glazed Edamame
I made these sweet and spicy soy glazed edamame for a tasty snack recently and they were loved by my whole family. I’ve been cleaning out my freezer due to COVID-19 and I found some frozen edamame so I went in search of a new recipe to try. I found this recipe on Shared Appetite and knew we would all love it because of the soy, garlic, and ginger combination. I adapted the recipe a bit by using my homemade chili oil which gave the dish a nice spicy kick and I also sprinkled some toasted sesame seeds on top. This edamame was very easy to make and tasted sweet, spicy and so delicious! My family stood around the kitchen and devoured the entire bowl in a matter of minutes. I’ll definitely be making this recipe again.
On a side note, I hope you are all staying healthy and sane!!!
How to Make Sweet and Spicy Soy Glazed Edamame
Cook the edamame according to package directions.
Combine the soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and chili oil (or crushed red pepper flakes) together in a bowl; whisk until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce mixture to the skillet and raise the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the sauce reduces and thickens to a glaze, about 5 minutes. Once you’ve achieved your desired glaze consistency, add the cooked edamame and toss to coat evenly. Pour into a serving bowl and drizzle any excess glaze from the pan on top. Sprinkle with some toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately. Enjoy!

So yummy and flavourful!
do you eat the shells?
Sherry,
No, you don’t. You pop them in your mouth and slide out the seeds inside of the shell then you discard the shell. Hope this helps!

Remy loves edamame! Unfortunately we are out…will need to order some with our next groceries and try this!
Edamame shells are not meant to be eaten. I think the recipe should include info on how to serve/eat this.
