To make the cakes:

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the edamame, bell pepper, onion, garlic, 5-spice powder, salt, and pepper. To combine, stir everything together.
  2. To make a dough, add the flour first, then the milk. Although it should be shapeable, some of the edamame may protrude.

  9. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Cook the remaining cakes, in the same way, adding more oil if necessary. Serve with the sauce on the side for dipping.

Recipe Notes

  • When shaping them, they will appear fragile, but they will become quite firm.
  • You can reduce the panko and sesame seed mixture because it will be too much, but don’t do so drastically or you’ll run out. If the mixture becomes soggy, toss it.
  • If not, store it in an airtight container and use it to bread other dishes.
