My family loves edamame and we think it’s a tasty, protein-filled snack, that’s super quick and easy to make. I whipped up this spicy sesame ginger edamame to pair some fried rice I made for lunch recently. I kept the flavors simple and served the edamame with spicy chili crisp, soy sauce, and black vinegar on the side so everyone could doctor their portion the way they prefer it.
