Sweet spicy shrimps and edamame rice bowl

Published: 01.21.2020 » Last updated: 01.05.2023

Fresh edamame pods are cooked in the microwave then popped open to get the beans. The beans are tossed with whole shrimps and sweet chili sauce. Serve sweet spicy shrimps with edamame over rice for the best Asian food experience.

Sweet spicy shrimps with edamame

Edamame is the Japanese name for fresh soy beans. When bought frozen, the pods have been discarded and you get only the beans. More convenient, actually, but so much flavor us lost during freezing.

If you buy edamame fresh, you get the whole pods. Choose fresh over frozen if you find yourself wondering if you’re capable of prepping the pods. It’s not hard at all. I wrote a step-by-step guide a while back.

How to cook edamame (fresh soy beans in pods)

What do soy sauce, soy milk and tofu have in common? They are all made from soy beans.

Just follow the instructions (I learned the technique from an episode in of Good Eats) so you can get the rich flavor and texture of fresh edamame every time you want to include it in a dish.

No access to edamame? You may substitute sweet peas. The mouth feel won't be the same but the cooked dish will be delicious too.
The prep time and cook time specified below are based on the presumption that you have already cooked and shelled the edamame.
