We ordered this at Blue Sushi Sake Grill at The Domain in Austin, TX. We loved it so much that we looked for a replica recipe. I couldn't find one so I combined two recipes and it was even better than what they serve at the restaurant!

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb edamame in the pod & thawed

1 tbsp avocado oil

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp minced fresh ginger

2 tbsp light soy sauce or tamari

2 to 2 tsp honey

1 tsp toasted sesame oil

1/2 to 1 tbsp Sambal Oelek or Sriracha

INSTRUCTIONS

Char edamame:

• Preheat a wok over medium-high heat for several minutes until hot
• In a small bowl toss the edamame in 1 tbsp olive oil
• Pick edamame out of the bowl with your hands or thongs and put in wok. DO NOT DUMP BOWL IN THE WOK.
• Cook the edamame 4 to 5 minutes, stirring about every minute or so until the beans are blackened in spots.
• Remove edamame from pan and set aside.

Prepare sauce:

• Using the same wok used to char the edamame, add 1 tbsp olive oil and heat over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant, but before they brown, 30 to 60 seconds. 
• Remove the skillet from the heat, and then stir in the soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, and chili sauce.
• Add charred edamame to the wok. Stir to cover edamame with sauce.

Eat & enjoy!
