Can I use frozen edamame beans for this recipe?Absolutely! Frozen edamame beans work perfectly. Just ensure they’re thawed and patted dry before cooking to achieve the best texture. Is this spicy edamame snack suitable for children?
If your little ones enjoy a bit of spice, they’ll love it! However, you can always reduce the amount of chilli to suit their palate. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
