Preparation

Step 1

Thaw the frozen edamame pods by running them under hot tap water in a colander for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and dry thoroughly with kitchen towels.

Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.

Add the crushed garlic and cook for 30 to 40 seconds, just until fragrant. Add the edamame, salt, Sichuan pepper, and black pepper. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until the edamame is crispy on the outside and cooked through. Transfer to a dish and serve.
