Ingredients
Instructions
Cook the Edamame
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the frozen edamame and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Drain well.
Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce
In a large skillet or wok, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Combine and Season
Add the drained edamame to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil (if using). Toss well to coat the edamame evenly with the garlic butter sauce.
Serve
Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edamame is heated through and well-coated. Taste and add a pinch more salt if desired. Serve immediately.
