Sweet and Spicy Edamame
This is the simplest recipe and great for a party appetizer. It will take you no time at all and adds a little something extra to plain old edamame.
Ichimi Togarashi is dry Japanese chili pepper, you’ve probably seen the little red topped bottles in ramen restaurants next to the salt and pepper. It’s a shakeable condiment that you can find in Japanese grocery stores.
This recipe is so easy, serve it and act like you worked really hard to make it.

I believe I will make this for my in between lunch snack at work, Thanks! :]
Make a homemade teriyaki sauce with a little sesame oil and the tagorashi pepper toss with edamame and it will make your day. That’s how we do it for parties and it’s a big hit.
Ah ha! There’s a spicy edamame appetizer at my favorite sushi restaurant and I’ve tried recreating it at home with little luck. My version was good but not quite the same but I think that is the spice I need to find! Adding a little sugar is genius, I will try that. Thank you!
Ditto what Maile said … in addition, add chopped garlic to taste. Onolicious!
I should really try adding spices to my edamame because I always eat them plain. However, I find that adding spices to edamame would be a waste because I eat the inside of the edamame and the spices that sick on the outside gets thrown away. Is that how you eat them?
Well, I usually put them in my mouth, then pull the outside out – leaving the beans and seasonings in my mouth. That was a weird look into my eating habits, wasn’t it? But I find that’s how most people eat edamame….
