I’m excited to bring you today’s recipe in partnership with NAKANO® Rice Vinegar. The lovely folks at NAKANO Rice Vinegar asked me to create some healthy delicious recipes to kick off the new year featuring their high-quality rice vinegars. Today’s quick and easy snack-a-licious recipe does just that. This Garlic and Chile Edamame recipe could not be easier to make and is a healthy, filling snack loaded with flavor thanks to NAKANO’s Roasted Garlic Rice Vinegar, toasted garlic chips and a good pinch of spicy red chile flakes.
Transform that bag of frozen edamame sitting in your freezer right now into a healthy afternoon snack or dinner party appetizer. All you need is NAKANO Roasted Garlic Rice Vinegar, a little olive oil, garlic cloves, red chile flakes and flaky sea salt to put this dish together in literally minutes.
While the frozen edamame are cooking in boiling salted water, simply infuse a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil with thinly sliced garlic and red chile flakes until the garlic is nicely toasted. (It’s going to smell so good in your kitchen). Then add the drained edamame to the garlic and chile oil and toss with NAKANO Roasted Garlic Rice Vinegar to really amp up the flavor. Pile them into a bowl for sharing (or not) and sprinkle with flaky sea salt to finish the dish. You’ll be surprised how quickly these Garlic and Chile Edamame will be devoured.
NAKANO Roasted Garlic Rice Vinegar is sweet with a mellow roasted garlic flavor that elevates savory dishes. Try it in dressings or marinades for added flavor or add a dash to starchy sides like white rice or roasted, baked mashed or my favorite: french fries. Sea salt and vinegar just got an upgrade.
For eight generations, NAKANO Rice Vinegar has perfected a classic, clean taste for flavorful, accessible Asian recipes at home. It’s a not-so-secret ingredient that can be incorporated into your meals for a healthy start to 2020.
