Step 1
Start by heating some soybean oil in a wok or a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the edamame pods and keep them moving in the pan, stirring constantly for about 3 to 5 minutes. You want to cook them until they start to get a nice, light char. When they’re done, take them off the heat and toss with your favorite seasoning—whether that’s the soy ginger, maple balsamic, or dukkah mix. Enjoy!
