Edamame Sweet Potato Satay

This is a Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) version of a cultural dish from Indonesia, with a delicious peanut sauce common throughout Southeast Asia.

Edamame & Sweet Potato Satay (Serves 3-4)

  • ½ cup filtered water
  • medium onion, large dice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 heaping tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1½ large, sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, sliced
  • 2 cups edamame beans
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, cut fine to use as garnish

Satay Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter (we pour the oil off a new jar)
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha or sweet chili sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 4 tablespoons filtered water

Make the satay sauce and whisk to combine. Set aside.

 

Heat a large fry pan and add the filtered water, onion, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir often for 3-4 minutes.

 

Add sweet potato and cook another 12 minutes, adding more water as necessary to prevent sticking.

 

Add bell pepper and celery and cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened.

 

Add edamame and satay sauce and cook for an additional minute until heated through.

Serve immediately garnished with coriander.
