This easy shelled edamame recipe with soy sauce is protein packed, addictive, and kid friendly (leave out the ginger). Edamame and soy sauce is a simple and fast snack or side dish recipe.
I love this easy and fast edamame side dish recipe. Serve it with anything from white rice, to stirfrys, to sushi.
The soy sauce gives this shelled edamame recipe umami (flavor) and 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 aromatics (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.
Substitutions for Shelled Edamame with Soy Sauce
Don't have sesame oil? Use peanut, coconut, or olive oil.
Don't want to grate the ginger and garlic? Skip it.
Accidentally bought edamame with the shell on? Doesn't matter, use the same recipe and eat the edamame with the shell on with your fingers.
Want to fancy up this shelled edamame recipe? Add some spice like sriracha sauce, spicy chili flakes, or hot sauce or add seeds or nuts like sesame seeds or toasted almond slices.
