•

1 (16 ounce) package frozen edamame in the pod
•

2 teaspoons sesame seeds
•

3 tablespoons white sugar

•

2 tablespoons soy sauce
•

2 teaspoons olive oil

Place edamame pods in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water. Cover and microwave on high until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain.
Place sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat; toast until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Simmer until soy sauce reduces and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Add edamame, toss until coated, and heat for 1 to 2 more minutes.
