Spicy Edamame with Lemon

By SippitySup

This is a spicier version of the addicting soy bean appetizer you love at the best Japanese restaurants.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for boiling
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 lb frozen edamame, in the pod (green soy beans)
• 1 lemons, sliced into 8 wedges

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the salt, chili powder, and pepper flakes in a small dry skillet set over medium heat, stirring until hot and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar. Set aside.

Boil the edamame pods in salted water until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander and pat dry. Toss the edamame pods with the chili-salt and serve warm with lemon wedges to squeeze on top.
