Chef's Tips

For a deeper flavor, lightly toast the edamame in a dry skillet for a minute or two after boiling and draining.

If you prefer a milder flavor, start with a smaller amount of togarashi and add more to taste.

Store leftover edamame in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
