Keiko's Spicy Dynamite Edamame

Dr. Jenny's Note:

From Keiko O' Aoki's "Easy and Healthy Japanese Food for the American Kitchen." According to the book, this is a great party food that pairs perfectly with wine and beer. DH and I tried this last night while making sushi. We really enjoyed it and agreed it would make a great party appetizer. It was also really easy! We used canola oil and frozen edamame, microwaved per the package's directions.

Great recipe. I did halve the amount of spices but kept the amount of oil the same. I really liked the spice blend here and I think it could be good to spice up green beans, peas, and carrots as well. Thank you.

My first try at Edamame and I really enjoyed it. Great for a snake. I used 12 oz of frozen edamame, cooked for 5 minutes then cooled as instructed. I cut the chili and garlic powder to 1 tbls each and that was plenty for us. I'll make this one again. Made for Photo Forum Special :)

Are you sure it's 2 cups pods to the seasonings and not 2 lbs.? If I followed the directions as written it would be inedible for us. I started off halving the spices and mixed it with the pods. That was still too much and I had to rinse off some. In the end I enjoyed the combo of seasonings but I think the ratio is way out of wack.
