My experimentation with the loveliness that is edamame continues with this chili garlic edamame. Sure edamame is great steamed with a little kosher salt tossed on top, but toss it in some sauteed garlic and spicy sambal oelek and you’ve got a whole new ball game.

The other night Ryan and I were watching a baseball game and I didn’t want to spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen making dinner. Instead I decided to make us a few different appetizers to snack on while we watched. I went with an Asian them and I cooked up a few of these potstickers, some wontons and this edamame dish. So quick and easy that I had it all on the table before the 2nd inning was over.

    Alyson- Sambal Oelek is a chili paste you can find it in the Asian section of your local grocery store or Asian market. You can also buy it on Amazon. Hope this helps!

    pardon my ignorance, but what is sambal oelek and where do I find it?

  7. Brenda May 12, 2010

    I just made this and we love it! I added a little fish sauce to help everything stick.

    I found you on foodgawker.

    Awesome, for some reason it reminds me of all the different ways they flavor sunflower seeds. Possibilities = endless.

    My 7-yr-old would cryyyy if I did this to our simply salted edamame, but maybe on a night when she’s not around?!? Has anyone tried the steam-in-a-bag version by Target brand Archer Farms. I buy them a few bags at a time, because I can’t find them anywhere else!

    Thanks everyone! Molly- You just eat the beans inside the pods.

  12. Molly April 27, 2010

    Do you eat the whole pods in this dish or just the beans themselves?

    I love edamame. These looks incredible!

    Oh so healthy and delicious! I heard that edamame is one of the healthiest things you can eat. It’s so hard to find them around here, though. :(

    The picture alone is mouth watering, can’t wait to try the recipe! We at Seapoint Farms manufacture and distribute edamame so I love coming across these spiced up recipes.

    Love how you spiced it up!
