This quick and easy Asian-inspired edamame appetizer is always a hit. We blister the edamame in a hot wok or skillet and season with garlic, ginger, red pepper and tamari.
Before starting this recipe, have everything prepped. It comes together in a flash!
In a small bowl combine tamari, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes.
Turn on your stove's exhaust fan.
Place a large skillet over high heat - and let the pan get very hot.
Add sesame oil to the pan.
Carefully add the edamame (it can splatter) and don't stir -- allow it to sear and blister about 1-2 minutes.
Add tamari mixture, toss to combine, and continue to cook until sauce coats the edamame - no more than 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, toss with lime juice, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if using.
Transfer the spicy edamame to a serving bowl and enjoy.
Notes
Best eaten when you make them, but you can reheat leftovers in the microwave.
