This Garlic Edamame Appetizer is made in less than ten minutes and is packed with flavor. It has no oils and is super healthy. Make it spicy, simply adding chili flakes to the mix.
Steam. Bring about ½ inch of water to boil. Place a steamer or metal colander on top, and add the edamame beans. If the edamame benas are frozen, allow for 4 minutes. If they have been thawed, allow 2 minutes.
Drain the edamame beans.
Stir fry. In a small saucepan, stir fry in low heat, the minced garlic and ginger, soy sauce, water, and pepperoncino flakes. Keep going for 2 minutes and remove from heat.
Mix everything. In the same saucepan, add the edamame beans and mix.
Serve in a bowl sprinkling with sesame seeds (optional).

Notes
If you haven't eaten edamame beans before, you should know pods are not meant to be eaten. Squeeze the pods, and the edible beans will come out.You can then suck on the pods, as they are likely to be full of flavor, as they were in contact with the soy and garlic mix.
