Ingredients

16 oz edamame
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsp minced garlic
4 tbsp sweet chili sauce
½ tsp salt

Instructions

Boil Edamame Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous amount of salt. Add the edamame and cook for 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still slightly firm. Drain the edamame and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and set aside.
Prepare Garlic Finely mince the garlic cloves. In a small pan, heat a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Combine Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked edamame. Pour the sautéed garlic and sesame oil over the edamame. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce, adjusting the amount to your taste preference. Start with a few tablespoons and add more if you prefer a stronger flavor.
