Spicy Miso Edamame Crunch

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the edamame pods under cold water and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. Ensure they are very dry to prevent oil splattering.

   ~2 min
2. 2

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the dried edamame pods in a single layer. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly golden and crispy.

   ~7 min
3. 3

   Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried edamame to a plate lined with fresh paper towels to drain excess oil. Discard the frying oil.
