Cohen Food: Garlic Teriyaki Edamame
Before we start cooking, let’s take a look at the main ingredient that makes this dish truly shine – edamame! These young soybeans are not just delicious but also packed with protein and nutrients.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups edamame (in pods, fresh or frozen)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Optional: chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by cooking the edamame. If you’re using frozen edamame, boil them in salted water for about 4-5 minutes until they’re tender. If using fresh, they may only require 3-4 minutes. Make sure to drain and set them aside.
- In a large pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Once heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Next, pour in the soy sauce and teriyaki sauce, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about a minute to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the cooked edamame to the pan and toss them in the sauce until they are well-coated. Continue to cook them together for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once everything is heated through and the edamame is well coated in the flavorful sauce, remove the pan from the heat.
- Transfer the edamame to a serving bowl, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and optionally, chopped green onions for added color and flavor.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Garlic Teriyaki Edamame as a tasty snack or appetizer!
