Quick and Easy Spicy Edamame in the Instant Pot®

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) package frozen edamame in the pod 1 cup water 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon soy sauce

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Pressure Cook Edamame

Put the edamame and water into your Instant Pot or any similar pressure cooker. Secure the lid and set it to cook on high pressure for zero minutes—don’t worry, this just helps steam the beans perfectly. It’ll take about 10 minutes for the pressure to build up. While you wait, mix together the sesame oil, Sriracha, garlic, and soy sauce in a small bowl until everything’s well combined. Once the cooking time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method. Open the lid, drain the edamame, and then toss them in the spicy sauce you made. Give everything a good stir and enjoy!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use fresh or frozen edamame pods for the best texture.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili flakes.
- Release the pressure quickly to keep the edamame tender but firm.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop to keep the edamame from becoming too soft.
