Edamame is a favorite restaurant appetizer that cooks easily from frozen. This recipe adds a rich, garlicky twist that’s easy to make.

Delicious and tender edamame makes an excellent appetizer recipe to go with your favorite Asian Meals, such as Spicy Garlic Beef Stir Fry and Slow Cooker Sesame Chicken.

Sabrina’s Edamame Recipe

The buttery snap of an edamame bean is so satisfying. You can cook edamame still in the shells, but I recommend removing them, so that the delicious garlicky flavor reaches the edamame instead of just the outer skin, which is fibrous and inedible. You can purchase frozen edamame already shelled or shell them yourself by using your thumbs to squeeze the edamame pods until the edamame pops out the side.
