4. 4Carefully transfer the steamed edamame pods to a medium-sized bowl.
5. 5Pour the fragrant garlic and ginger mixture from the saucepan over the steamed edamame.
6. 6Add the 1 tablespoon of soy sauce (or tamari) and the 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl with the edamame.
7. 7Gently toss everything together until the edamame is evenly coated with the sauce and seasonings. Taste the edamame and add salt to taste, if desired. Serve the Edamame with Garlic and Ginger warm.
