Recipe View 6 mins Microwave the Edamame: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the frozen edamame pods with 1/4 cup of water. Cover the bowl tightly and microwave on high power until the edamame is tender and bright green, approximately 4-6 minutes. Once cooked, drain thoroughly to remove excess water.

Recipe View 2 mins Combine and Heat: Add the drained edamame to the skillet with the Szechuan glaze. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure that each pod is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture. Heat for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the edamame to absorb the flavors of the glaze.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of ground Szechuan peppercorns to the glaze.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference. If you like it really spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper as well.
Edamame is best served warm, immediately after cooking. However, it can also be enjoyed cold as a refreshing snack.
If you don't have sesame seeds, you can substitute them with a teaspoon of sesame oil for a similar nutty flavor.

    I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a hit. I like to add a little rice vinegar to the glaze for some extra tanginess.

    I love how versatile this recipe is. I've used it as a side dish for grilled chicken and even added it to stir-fries.
