Vegetarian Sambal Edamame


This is a vegetarian version of Sambal Edamame with Shrimp. I also added in 1/2 cup baby corn cause Vance likes them and I have it leftover from making curry the other day. You can use or omit the baby corn. Be careful when choosing your sambal, make sure there are no shrimp in it. Any types of soy strips would do, even rehydrated ones. I have a packet of seasoned soy strips in the pantry so I used that instead. I washed the strip in cold water to wash off the seasoning (would probably taste weird with conflicting taste profile).


Soy strips (left) and sambal tumis (right)

Ingredients:
2 cups edamame
1 cup soy strips 
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 packet of sambal tumis 
1 tablespoon oil
some water (if too dry)


Add oil to wok or pan over medium heat. Add in chopped garlic and soy strips. Cook for a few minutes until garlic starts to brown. 


Add in edamame. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.


Add in sambal and mix well. Cook for another 5 minutes. If it gets too dry, add in some water. Serve warm with rice.
