Why You'll Love This Recipe
Quick and easy, perfect for busy days when you want a healthy snack. The spicy kick adds a fun twist to the natural nuttiness of edamame. It’s a great source of protein and fiber, making it both satisfying and nutritious.
Directions
Ad the edamame and water to your Instant Pot or any other multi-functional pressure cooker. Secure the lid and set it to cook on high pressure for zero minutes—don’t worry, the cooking happens during the time it takes to build pressure, which usually takes about 10 minutes. While the edamame is cooking, mix together the sesame oil, Sriracha, garlic, and soy sauce in a small bowl until everything is well combined. Once the cooking time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method as your cooker’s instructions suggest. Open the lid, drain the edamame, and then toss it with the spicy sauce you prepared. Give it a good stir to make sure the flavors coat the edamame evenly, and enjoy!
