I love this easy and fast edamame side dish recipe made from defrosted frozen edamame. Serve it with anything from white rice, to stirfrys, to sushi.

The soy sauce gives this shelled edamame recipe umami (flavor) and the minced ginger spices it up.

Use Frozen Shelled Edamame For This Easy Recipe

Defrost a packet of frozen shelled edamame.

Throw the edamame in a pan and add a little oil, a little seasoning (fresh ginger and garlic if you got it), and some soy sauce or tamari (gluten free soy sauce).

If nothing else, all this simple recipe needs is the edamame and the soy sauce for a stellar simple side dish.

Forgot to defrost the edamame?  No problem, turn down the heat, cover, and cook a little bit longer. Add a touch of water if it dries out. Conversely, the edamame can also be microwaved for a couple minutes to defrost it.
