Want a little upgrade on your steamed edamame? Then this recipe is for you. It has got all the Asian flavors with tamari, honey and sesame oil, making it a great fun appetizer or side dish. The sticky sweet savory sauce coats the shells perfectly making you go for one after another!

Prepare the sauce mix and mince the garlic ahead of time.

I recommend cooking the edamame and sauce together right before serving. The shells could get soggy, making the sauce diluted. And these edamame tastes x100 better served warm!
