Ingredients:

  • 1 lb frozen edamame pods (in-shell)
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced

Instructions:

  1. Place frozen edamame in a colander and rinse under warm water for 60 seconds.
  2. Pat the edamame pods thoroughly dry with a paper towel to ensure they sear instead of steam.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil.
  4. Add edamame pods in a single layer and cook for 4–6 minutes, tossing occasionally, until golden-brown blistered spots develop.
  5. While pods sear, whisk together soy sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  6. Pour the glaze over the searing pods and toss continuously for 1–2 minutes over high heat until the sauce reduces into a thick lacquer.
  7. Remove from heat immediately and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and sliced green onions.
