Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the frozen edamame to the pot and allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, ensuring they turn vibrant green and tender. Once cooked, drain the edamame using a colander, then set it aside while you prepare the garlic.

In a spacious skillet, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place it over medium heat. Allow the oil to heat for about 1 minute until it glistens. Add in the minced garlic, stirring continuously for around 30 seconds until it's fragrant and lightly golden.

Carefully combine the drained edamame with the sautéed garlic in the skillet. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and a pinch of chili flakes over the mixture. Toss everything together for about 2-3 minutes to ensure the edamame is evenly coated.

Once everything is thoroughly mixed and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat. Scoop the High-Protein Garlic Edamame into a serving bowl to enjoy immediately.
