* % Daily Value shows how much one serving adds to a 2,000-calorie day. † Net carbs is not on US labels; it is total carbs minus fiber, allulose, erythritol and half of other sugar alcohols. "To taste" amounts are counted as written. Counted items (eggs, cloves, spoons) use the rounded amount shown in the ingredient list. Vitamins and minerals are from raw ingredients; cooking lowers some, especially vitamin C and folate. How this is calculated.
Steps
Put the frozen edamame and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a plate.
Microwave on high 3–4 minutes, stirring once halfway. Lift the plate away from you. The steam is very hot.
Done looks like: Bright green, steaming, and a bean squashes easily between two fingers. Drain off any water. Toss with the lime juice, sesame seeds, chili flakes and salt while hot.
Done looks like: Beans glossy, with salt and seeds stuck all over. Taste and add a pinch more salt if needed. Eat warm or cold.
What goes wrong
| What | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Some beans still icy in the middle | Not stirred, or the microwave is low-powered. | Stir and give it another 60 seconds. |
| Salt slides off and sits in the bowl | Beans were dry or already cold. | Toss them while hot and damp from the lime so the salt sticks. |
