Spicy Garlic Edamame
Edamame is one of our favorite side dishes to pair with Asian food, and my son loves it, especially dipped in soy sauce. I sautéed this edamame with a bit of butter until cooked through, then added the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cooked it for an additional minute or so. This easy edamame recipe was a big hit with all of us.
Spicy Garlic Edamame
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of whole edamame
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
- Sea salt, to taste
How to Make Spicy Garlic Edamame
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the edamame and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often.
Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Season with sea salt to taste, then remove from the skillet and serve. Enjoy!
Note: To eat whole edamame, put the pod into your mouth, bite down, and pull through your teeth (similar to eating an artichoke leaf); the soybeans pop out of the pod and into your mouth. Discard the pods.

Your son has good taste! What a great side for Asian food. Everything seems like a main dish, so this is really a work horse idea.
I could eat edamame like chips!
I love edamame, but never think to kick it up a notch and make it even more fun. This sounds so flavorful!
I too love edamame! This is a great afternoon snack, Pam.
I love edamame too! This preparation sounds delicious, I’ll have to try it soon.
Love this recipe! 🙂 I’ve never had edamame
One of my favorite parts about getting sushi is eating all the edamame! This spicy version sounds really good!
Delicious Pam. I love edamame and your suggestion is great.
Cheers,
Lia.
I love edamame, but have never tried putting soy sauce on them like your son. Sounds good though. I like the addition of red pepper flakes.
Great way to prepare this vegetable.
Normally I’m totally fine eating my edamame plain and salty…but salty and SPICY sounds even better!
