What is Edamame?
Edamame beans are green soybeans, with a sweet, mild and buttery taste. This recipe has two main ways to enjoy edamame. In pods or shelled . In Japan edamame beans are often boiled in salted water in their pods and observed as appetizers. Then you pop the beans out to eat before the main course is served.
Then you can easily find frozen edamame in pods and shelled edamame sold in plastic bags in the freezer aisle at most grocery stores.
In Japan edamame is traditionally boiled in heavily salted water and then eaten straight from the pod. It is basically the potato chips of Japan, a healthy snack that is often ordered with a beer in Japanese pubs.
This Spicy Edamame is flavored with pungent chunks of crispy garlic and has a well blanched heat to the addition of both black pepper and chili peppers. Paired with your favorite beverage and they make for an addictive snack, that is perfect for game days and movie nights.
Ingredients For spicy edamame recipes:
Edamame – You can use fresh edamame but I have used pre-cooked frozen edamame that has been deforested for this recipe. You will need to boil them first.
Garlic – You can use two large cloves may sound like a lot but you use enough garlic in here that every edamame has a few bits of crisp garlic clinging on to the pod.
Crushed chili Flakes – I used crushed red pepper flakes, but any pepper flakes you have on hand will work or you can use crushed your own dried chilies. You can use a chili paste, like doubanjiang, or sambal oelek. Just be aware that these contain salt, so you may need to reduce the salt you add.
Whole black peppercorns – Black pepper starts losing its potency and aroma as soon as its ground , so while the pre-ground stuff will work, it would not taste nearly as good as freshly cracking the peppercorns yourself. But I usually do this in a mortar with a pestle but if you don’t have one you can pulse it a few times in a food processor or blender, you can put it in a zipper bag and pound the bag with something heavy like a pot or rolling pin.
Salt – I used flaky sea salt for this but any form of salt like soy sauce, fish sauce or oyster sauce, will work while changing its flavor.
Sesame Oil – I told you my spicy edamame was made with a lot of sauces. Add sesame oil for a bit of a very tasty flavor.
Vegetable Oil – You can cook the garlic for vegetable oil.
Mirin – You can use a little bit of sugar or maple syrup.
Right amount of cooking Ingredients:
For the edamame pods
- 300g 0r 400g frozen edamame in the pods
- 2-3 tsp cooking salt
- 4 cup water
For spicy garlic sauce
- 2-3 tsp garlic
- 3 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp chili paste
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp miso paste
- 1 teaspoon dried chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
How to cook this recipes?
1 – First you gather all the ingredients. Then you add 4 cups of water to a pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling you use 1 tbsp kosher salt.
2 – Now you add 300-400g edamame (frozen) pods and cook, stirring once in a while for 5 minutes or until the soybeans are an al dente consistency. Frozen edamame imported from Japan is always precooked so you only need to boil them for 1 minute to reheat.
3 – If you see foam forming on the surface of the water, remove it with a fine mesh skimmer because we do not rinse the pods after cooking. When the edamame is done cooking then drain in a colander. Or the edamame will lose their salted flavor then set a side.
4– Now heat a large frying pan over medium low to medium heat. When the pan is warm you add 3 tbsp oil and 2-3 tsp garlic cloves and saute until fragrant. But you do not burn the garlic. Then add 1 tbsp chili paste and 1/4 tsp miso and stir until combined.
5 – Add 2 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp mirin and cook, stirring gently, until the sauce thickens a little bit.
6 – At last you add the cooked edamame pods to the pan and toss to coat them with the sauce and transfer to a plate and serve ware or at room temperature. Then you eat, remove the soybeans from their inedible pods and enjoy.
This is an easy to cook recipe. Edamame pods get a transformative kick from the simple spicy sauce of chili paste, cracked black pepper garlic miso and soy sauce. It is the perfect mix of peppery spice and aromatic garlic flavour. As you pop the soybeans into your mouth every bite is exciting and enjoyable, leaving you wanting more.

How to eat spicy edamame
Then how you eat spicy edamame matters because the part you eat is inside the pods but the part that is sauced is the outside and it is deliberate, because this is how to eat edamame:
Pick up a sauce slathered pod.
You use your front teeth to semi-bite the soy beans out of the pods while simultaneously sucking all the sauce off the skin of the pod.
You end up with a mouthful of the slippery soybeans and the tasty sauce.
Then you discard the sauce less and empty pod and repeat, repeat and repeat.
Wash it down with a cold beer, warm sake, cold sake, cocktail or your favorite glass of wine. Edamame is rich in protein, fiber and various vitamins and minerals and there is not much oil in the sauce, making this dish a much better option than other snacking alternatives so I like to think it offsets the wine.

Tips:
You can use fresh edamame instead of frozen if you like. I like to use frozen as I usually have a bag in the freezer on hand.
Frozen edamame is actually already cooked, so you simply need to heat it up. That means you really need to keep an eye on it as it cooks. Check for tenderness and a bright green colour so you will know it’s ready.
If you love spicy food you can add in even more chili paste foods, either reduce the amount that you use or omit it completely.
