Method
- Pour 2 cm of water into a pan and bring it to the boil. Set a steamer basket or metal sieve over the top and have a lid ready.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan now and then, until golden. Tip them into a serving bowl.
- Steam the edamame straight from frozen, with the lid on, for 4 minutes, until they are bright green and hot through.
- Shake off any water, then add the edamame to the bowl with the soy sauce and chilli flakes. Toss well.
- Serve warm. If the edamame are in their pods, put an empty bowl out for the shells, and squeeze the beans out as you eat.
Tip Frozen edamame in pods is fine here, and so is the shelled kind. Just add a minute or so for the pods if they are not hot through.
