Instructions

Add the water and sea salt to a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the edamame and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the edamame is tender and is easily released from their pods. Drain well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet set over medium heat. Add the minced garlic gloves and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Mix in the boiled and drained edamame pods, soy sauce, and sugar. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
Best served warm.

Notes

Optional - Add 1-2 teaspoons of spicy chili sauce such as Sambal Oelek or Sriracha for spicy garlic edamame.
