- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed and minced
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste

Notes
Nutrition provided for 3 servings using ¼ teaspoon kosher salt.
Edamame pods: The edamame pods (the “shells”) are not meant to be eaten in this recipe. This dish is enjoyed the same way edamame is served at a Japanese restaurant: gently squeeze the pod between your fingers or teeth to pop the beans into your mouth, then discard the shell. The pods are simply there to hold onto the seasonings and make the experience fun and interactive—only the beans inside are meant to be eaten.
