I had this dish (pictured below) by
Chefs Tim Dornon from Uchiko,
Tatsu Aikawa of Ramen Tatsuya, and
Paul Qui from East Side Kings.  I loved 
it so much that I decided to make a version of it.   It had a great 
roastiness/charred flavor and just a kick of spice. There was a great tang in 
the dish, which I created with meyer lemon.  So put together some 
ingredients and tried to approximate the flavors.  Here's my version. 
Ingredients: 
- 1 bag of frozen edamame (I used a 16 oz bag)
 
- 1 swig of sesame oil
 
- 2 teaspoons of oil.  Canola is best for higher heat.
 
- Juice of one meyer lemon.
 
- Spices to taste.  I used red pepper flakes, but you could use 
 togarashi spice. 
 
- Pinch of salt.
 
- Optional: Chopped onion or garlic
 
Heat up oil (I actually used extra virgin olive oil because I didn't have 
canola) in a skillet.  Once piping hot, carefully add the frozen edamame to 
the skillet.  Stir like crazy.  You want to make sure that you toss 
the edamame every 30 seconds or so they don't burn.  You do want them to 
get a little roasty, but not burned.  Add in chopped onion or garlic if you 
like.  Cook until the the onions are start to become translucent.  Add 
the spices and the lemon juice.  Drizzle with the swig of sesame oil.  
Give the edamame a quick stir, and it is ready to serve!
