Yard House Edamame Recipe
Ingredients
- Edamame
- 1 pound frozen edamame in pods
- Water for boiling
- 1 teaspoon salt for boiling water
- Garlic Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
- Add frozen edamame and cook for 4–5 minutes until bright green and tender.
- Drain immediately and let steam-dry in a colander for 1 minute.
- Melt butter or heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add garlic and cook for 30–45 seconds until fragrant, not browned.
- Stir in red pepper flakes if using.
- Add edamame to the skillet and toss to coat evenly.
- Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Toss over low heat for 1–2 minutes until glossy and heated through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
Do not overcook edamame or it will become mushy.
Garlic should stay pale; browned garlic adds bitterness.
Letting edamame steam-dry helps seasoning cling better.
Butter gives richer flavor; olive oil keeps it lighter.
Finish with flaky sea salt for a restaurant-style touch.
Best served warm immediately after cooking.
