If you saw the poke recipe I shared recently, I’ve got the perfect little something to serve alongside it: Fiery Edamame. And fair warning, this stuff is seriously addicting.
You know how there are some foods you simply can’t stop eating? That’s me with this edamame. It has just the right amount of heat to give it a kick, while the creamy, spicy sauce keeps you reaching for just one more. Thank goodness for the shells, they’re pretty much the only thing slowing me down.
I’ve been making this recipe a lot lately because it’s ridiculously easy. We’re talking less than 10 minutes from start to finish, making it perfect as a quick snack, appetizer, or side dish. Pair it with my fresh ahi poke and you’ve got yourself a meal that feels a whole lot fancier than the effort required.
And hey, edamame is packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, so I’m going to go ahead and consider that permission to polish off the entire bowl.
Spicy, creamy, messy, and completely irresistible, grab some extra napkins and dig in!
