Ingredients

• 2 cups Edamame (in pods or shelled)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (sliced, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the edamame by steaming them according to the package directions, or boil them in salted water for 4-5 minutes if fresh. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set this aside.

Step 4

Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until it begins to gently bubble.

Step 5

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the skillet with the sauce. Cook while stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the steamed edamame to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly with the sweet and sour sauce.

Step 7

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the edamame are well glazed.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sweet and sour edamame to a serving dish.

Step 9

If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an extra layer of flavor and presentation.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Enjoy!
