Ingredients

  • 1 bag 500g/16oz of frozen edamame (in-shell)
  • 1 tbsp of white miso
  • 2 tsp of maple syrup
  • 1 tsp of sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp of grated ginger
  • 1 tsp of rice vinegar
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Whisk the miso, maple syrup, sesame oil, ginger, and vinegar in a medium bowl until completely smooth.
  • Drop your frozen edamame into a pot of boiling water for just 2 minutes. We aren't looking to overcook them; we just want to defrost them and soften the pods slightly.
  • The most important step! Drain the edamame and pat them thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. If the pods are wet, the glaze will slide right off.
  • The "Flash Sauté": Heat a pan over medium-high heat and pour in the miso mixture. The moment it starts to bubble, toss in the edamame. Sauté for only 30–60 seconds—just enough to create a sticky glaze without killing the beneficial live probiotics in the miso.
  • Transfer to a bowl, sprinkle generously with sesame seeds, and serve while they’re hot!
  • Pro Tip: Make sure to have a small "discard bowl" on the table for the empty shells—these pile up quickly!
