Here is another great dish for drinking. Of course it is great with freshly cooked rice, too. You can use Canned Soy Beans, but I like crunchy Edamame Beans better. The coating of Potato Starch is the key to the scrumptiousness. Do not omit it.

Steps

1

Combine all the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl.
2

Sprinkle Potato Starch Flour over the thawed Edamame Beans and coat them well.
3

Heat a generous amount of Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and cook Edamame until the coating turned white and crispy. *Note: Alternatively, you can deep-fry them.
4

*Note: If the amount of Oil is not enough, Beans would stick to each other. If that happens, keep cooking, tossing and shaking the pan, until Beans get separated and coating becomes white and crispy.
5

Use a skimmer or mesh ladle to transfer the fried Beans to the sauce and mix to combine.
