Garlic edamame

Overview

Summer is the season for edamame. The beans are tender and cheap. Reward yourself by making a dish of spicy garlic sauce. It’s spicy and fragrant. It’s no worse than the ones sold at late-night snack stalls!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Choose fresh edamame (not too plump, I like to eat tender ones), wash the outer hair and cut off both ends. Add water to the soup pot, add the aniseed ingredients and bring to a boil, add some salt, add the edamame and cook for 8-10 minutes

   

2. 2 Drain the water and don’t overcook the beans (I cooked them a little too big this time)

   

3. 3 Heat the oil, add garlic and chili pepper and stir-fry until fragrant

   

4. 4 Add the edamame, cooking wine, salt, and a little boiling water, stir-fry until all the flavors are soaked in, and you are ready to serve

   

5. 5 The bowl was full and we both ate half of it in one go
