Preparation
Step 1
Spicy garlic sauce - Heat the oil in a small pan over medium low heat. Cook the garlic until very light golden, then add everything else. Stir, then simmer on low for 1 minute. Remove from stove.
Step 2
Edamame - Bring a large pot of water to the boil and add the salt. Put the frozen edamame in the water. Bring it back up to the boil then cook for 2 minutes (Note 5 - ignore the packet times, they always say too long!). Drain well, shaking off excess water.
Step 3
Toss - Transfer edamame into a bowl, pour over sauce, toss. Transfer into a serving bowl - scrape out every drop of sauce! Serve warm or at room temperature.
Step 4
To eat, pick up a sauce-slathered pod. Bite the pod so the soybeans pop out into your mouth, and suck all the sauce off the skin. Discard the skin, repeat and repeat!
