Submitted by nemokitty

"I saw this on the food network, Sandra Lee show, and thought I'd try it. If you can't find Kung Pao sauce, I used Hoisin sauce and it was just fine."

This is a tasty dish that I made exactly as posted, except I added to minced cloves of garlic. This is very versatile as you can serve it warm, or pack it cold for your lunch, as I did. Thanks for sharing.

A nice healthy low cal dinner or lunch. Served with brown rice and garnished with just a very few peanuts. Did cut the red pepper flakes in half as DH does not like them. The sauce had a nice mild flavor that did not hide the taste of the edamame, very well balanced. Have already put the leftover in a bowl for tomorrow's lunch and am very much looking forward to it. Thanks for the post.

This was a really good dish. I downsized it just for me. I probably had a few extra edamame's in mine because I wasn't going to just leave a few in the bag so I tossed them all in. I had boiled them in their shells and then shelled them and I had tossed them in the skillet with the carrots and onions. Added all the ingredients in the skillet and sauteed for a few minutes. I couldn't find any kung pao sauce and I had tried a few stores, so I went and used hoisin sauce. This really tasted great with the fried rice I made and very filling too. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for the Holiday Tag Oct'09
