01
Pressure Cook Edamame
Put the edamame and water into your Instant Pot or any pressure cooker you have. Close the lid and make sure it’s locked in place. Set it to high pressure and set the timer for zero minutes—don’t worry, it’ll still take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure.
02
Make Spicy Sauce
While that’s happening, mix together the sesame oil, Sriracha, garlic, and soy sauce in a small bowl until everything is well combined.
03
Release Pressure and Drain
Once the cooking time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method. When it’s safe to open, take off the lid and drain the edamame.
04
Toss Edamame in Sauce
Toss the hot edamame in the spicy sauce you made earlier, and give it a good stir so every bite gets some of that kick. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish is a quick and healthy snack that's packed with protein and fiber. It offers a spicy twist on classic edamame, making it perfect for those who enjoy a little heat. Plus, using the Instant Pot saves time without sacrificing flavor.
How to serve
Serve warm as a flavorful appetizer or side dish. It pairs well with cold beers or light, refreshing drinks. You can also toss the cooked edamame into salads or grain bowls for added texture and zest.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove to retain their texture. Avoid freezing, as it may affect the quality and taste.
