If you’re using fresh edamame, rinse it under cold water to remove any debris. For frozen edamame, simply thaw it beforehand. Place the edamame in a large pot of boiling water. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until tender yet firm. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, minced ginger, avocado oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, Sambal Oelek, and rice vinegar. Whisk vigorously until everything is well blended. This sauce is the heart of your dish—tangy, sweet, and totally addictive.
Place the drained edamame back into the pot on low heat. Pour the sauce over the edamame, stirring gently to coat every pod evenly. Heat for about 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Once heated, remove the pot from the heat. Transfer the edamame to a serving bowl. For the final touch, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top. You’re ready to impress!
