Notes

How to Make Garlic Edamame

I love this stuff. Garlic edamame is a great snack! My husband loves going to sushi, and I don’t eat sushi, but I’ll go for the edamame.

Our local sushi place makes this amazing garlic edamame, and I wanted to make some of my own. I tried multiple different recipes and tweaked them all to perfection, and now I have this fantastic and genuinely tested (lots of times) foolproof recipe.

I wanted to share it with you because of how easy it is, and it’s not bad for you!

Garlic Edamame Ingredients

• 1 lb 1 Bag of Frozen Edamame
• 3 tbsp Minced Garlic
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tbsp Water
• 1/2 tsp Corn Starch
• 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• Red pepper flakes, if you want

Cooking Instructions

1. Mix the minced garlic, soy sauce, sugar, and water. Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium-sized pan.
3. Add in the garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, longer if you like the garlic crispy
4. Add the sauce mix and stir.
5. Immediately add the edamame in and stir.
6. Cook with a lid on for 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally

This dish is also nice because it saves and is as good as leftovers. I was initially worried because we had so much excess, but it tasted just as cooked and warmed up in the microwave.

Air Fryer Garlic Edamame

I have tried this recipe in the air fryer, and it comes out close, but you have to watch it and flip them often, so they don’t burn. I do 350 for 12 minutes, but you have to flip them often, and they turn out good.
