Beginning with scallops, place in oil and cook until lightly browned, strain. Continue with this procedure with; shrimp, shallots, garlic, serrano chiles. When it comes time to cook the prosciutto, this will take a bit longer as you will want to render this until almost crisp as with bacon. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound frozen, shelled edamame (green soy beans)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 cup prepared kung pao sauce
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add edamame and return to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh edamame: Look for pods that are plump and bright green. Avoid pods that are yellowed or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the edamame properly: Before cooking, remove the edamame from the pods. You can do this by pinching the seam of the pod and pulling it open. Once the pods are open, use your fingers to pop the edamame out.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to edamame, you can add other vegetables to your kung pao sauce, such as bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas. This will make your dish more colorful and nutritious.
  • Don't overcook the edamame: Edamame should be cooked until it is tender but still slightly crunchy. Overcooked edamame will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve immediately: Kung pao sauce is best served immediately after it is made. This will ensure that the vegetables are still crisp and the sauce is hot and flavorful.
