Edamame is so delicious and this recipe couldn’t be faster or simpler to prepare. I love to have Chilli & Garlic Soya Beans alongside teriyaki dishes or salmon. It only takes a few minutes to prepare and really adds a beautiful colour, not to mention delicious flavours to the plate.
You’ll want to make sure for this recipe that you buy the bag of frozen, shelled edamame or soya beans – not the ones that are still in their pods. You can cook them straight from frozen and weigh them while frozen as well.
Serves 2-3
Ingredients
- 200g frozen, shelled soya beans (edamame)
- 1 tablespoon garlic infused olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
- Generous sprinkling of sea salt flakes
- About a teaspoon of finely chopped fresh parsley to serve (optional)
Method
- Cook the edamame in boiling water according to packet instructions. Usually this requires simply boiling the soya beans for about 5 minutes.
- Strain the beans and return them to the same pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and give them a stir in the pan to dry them out a bit.
- Pour in the garlic oil and the chilli flakes. Cook while stirring for a minute or two until the chilli flakes start to give off their colour. Make sure all the soya beans are coated in the flavourful oil.
- Remove from the heat and sprinkle generously with sea salt and finely chopped fresh parsley if you’re using it. Serve hot.
Pairs well with Mustard & Chilli Salmon.
