Calories: 33kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1 pound bag frozen in-shell edamame beans
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon grated garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Boil edamame according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Transfer drained edamame to the hot pan and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, letting the pods get brown on both sides.
- Add grated garlic and ginger to the pan and toss well to coat. Turn off the heat and continue tossing the beans for 2 minutes.
- Transfer beans to a large bowl and let cool for ten minutes. Toss with salt according to taste. Serve warm, with an extra bowl for the empty pods.
Notes
The easiest way to grate garlic and ginger is to pop the pieces in the freezer for a few minutes before grating with a microplane zester. It's okay to leave the peel on the ginger, but be sure to peel the garlic.
To store Garlic Edamame, place the cooled beans in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. While you can freeze them for up to a month, the texture might change slightly.
Reheat by sautéing in a hot pan for a few minutes or you can microwave it for 1-2 minutes until warmed through. For best results, avoid reheating multiple times to maintain flavor and texture.
