Method

  1. Boil the beans from frozen for three minutes, drain and shake them dry.

  2. Heat the sesame oil in a pan over a medium heat and add the sliced garlic and chilli flakes for thirty seconds, until fragrant but not brown.

  3. Tip in the beans, toss for a minute, then take off the heat and add the tamari and a little flaky salt.

Worth knowing

  • Shelled frozen edamame, so the weight is beans and not pods. Pods from a restaurant menu are about half bean by weight.
  • The toasted sesame oil is 36 kcal for the teaspoon and all the flavour. Frying it long makes it bitter; the beans go in as soon as the garlic smells.
