Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the edamame pods and pat them dry thoroughly. If using frozen edamame, ensure they are completely thawed and dry. (5 minutes)

   In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, sake, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. This is your glaze. (3 minutes)

   Thread the dried edamame pods onto skewers, ensuring they are snug but not overcrowding. You can use multiple pods per skewer. (7 minutes)

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the edamame skewers in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until they are lightly browned and starting to char. (8 minutes)

   ~8 min

   Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the prepared miso glaze over the edamame skewers, turning them to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken and caramelize onto the pods. (4 minutes)
