Ingredients
  

2 cups edamame, podded (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to your spice tolerance)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted, for garnish)

2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Edamame: If using frozen edamame, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside. If using fresh edamame, steam or boil until tender.

    Make the Spicy Sauce: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

      Add Spices: Stir in the red chili flakes and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release their flavor.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked edamame to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey or agave syrup. Toss everything together until the edamame is well-coated in the spicy sauce.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste the edamame and add salt if needed, adjusting any other flavors to your liking.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve warm as a snack or appetizer.
