Sweet and Spicy Edamame

        I am pretty sure that you all tried Edamame before. I think(actually, i'm pretty sure), I'm in love with these green soybean.
Edamame is one of the most famous appetizer in Japanese cuisine. In Japanedamame beans are often boiled in salty water still in their pods and served as an appetizer. This appetizer is pretty addictive and you can't stop eating them.
      Today I'll share you how can turn regular edamame into a Sweet and Spicy Edamame.  When you pop the edamame into your mouth, your lip touches the edamame pod that is coated with sweet and spicy and garlicky taste. I'm sure the aroma and spice excites your palate leaving you wanting more.
     When you make  this sweet and spicy edamame at home, just need to be sure of one thing: make a plate for each of you. Sharing doesn't go well with this recipe.:)=

1 1/2tsp Oil
1tsp Crushed or minced garlic
1/2tsp Crushed or minced ginger

2tbls Water
1tsp Brown sugar
1tbls Crushed red pepper flakes(adjust according your taste)
