Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

1 (16 ounce) package frozen edamame in the pod
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste

Directions

Place edamame pods in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water. Cover and microwave on high until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain.
Place sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat; toast until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Simmer until soy sauce reduces and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Add edamame, toss until coated, and heat for 1 to 2 more minutes.

Tips

Substitute vegetable oil for the olive oil if desired.

If you don't want them too spicy, just omit the red pepper flakes or add more if you really want more of a kick.

Goat Cheese-Stuffed Lamb Burgers

I love making these flavorful lamb burgers stuffed with creamy, delicious goat cheese. I use basil and oregano in mine, but feel free to use your favorite herbs and spices as this recipe is very forgiving. Serve on hamburger buns or pita bread with tzatziki sauce or on their own with a Greek salad.

Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls

Serve these gingerbread cinnamon rolls at your next holiday gathering. They come out buttery, sugary, and taste like gingerbread.

Refreshing Avocado, Tomato, and Mango Salsa

Looking for a refreshing salsa for a warm summer evening? This is our favorite. Serve with tortilla chips. This is also fantastic served on white fish. I often use a canned jalapenos instead of fresh.

Kielbasa and Cabbage

This smoked kielbasa and cabbage dish is great for company but quick enough for a weeknight! It is super easy and can be prepared well in advance.

Beef and Barley Soup III

This is what I consider the ultimate beef soup. Great on a frosty day. For beef stock, I use 2 1/2 quarts water and 6 teaspoons beef base. Also, use inexpensive red wine. No need for the good stuff here, and cheaper actually works better! Try with leftover pot roast.
