I remember ignoring it whenever we go to a gathering. However, one night, as I was about to head home from work, my office mate offered me some boiled soy beans with a little bit of salt, like boiled peanuts, I was hesitant to try it, but I'm glad I did, because when I got home, I started looking for edamame recipes. Then the following day off from work, I looked for it at the grocery store and tried to make my first Edamame Poke. The ingredients were simple, edamame, sesame oil, sea salt, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. The procedure was very simple as well, I just boiled water in a pot, added a bit of salt, then added edamame when the water started to boil. As soon as the edamame started to float, I removed it from the pot and drained it well. Then, I placed it in a larger bowl and added the remaining ingredients and mixed well. That's it! Very easy. However, this version is a tad different, it is more savory because of the garlic and a hint of ginger flavors.
