- 200 g Edamame beans, shelled (Cooked; Cooked from frozen)
- 10 ml Lime juice (Raw; Freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 g Chilli flakes (Ready-to-eat as sold)
- 0.8 g Salt (Ready-to-eat as sold)
Method
- Cook the edamame from frozen in boiling water for 3–4 minutes. Drain well. [Source step duration: 4 min]
- Toss the warm beans with the lime juice, salt and chilli flakes.
- Divide between two small bowls.
- Nutritional reference assumption: 200 g cooked, drained, shelled edamame beans (USDA 168411) for the full recipe. Weigh the edible beans after cooking and draining; cook frozen edamame according to packet instructions. The source 3–4-minute timing remains an estimate.
- Allergen declaration (ingredient-based): Soybeans
- Storage: Refrigerate for up to 2 days and eat cold, or reheat briefly. Keep the fridge at 5°C or below. Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours (within 1 hour for the rice/quinoa instructions). Where reheating, reheat only once until steaming hot throughout. Observe any shorter product limit.
Why it fits
Edamame provides plant protein and fibre in a simple snack. Lime and chilli add a bright, savoury finish.
