Ingredients

• 2 cups Edamame (in pod, fresh or frozen)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh, grated)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Green onions (sliced for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. If using frozen edamame, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen edamame and cook for 4-5 minutes, or according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2
