Questions

Why pat it dry first in Garlic Edamame?

Step 2 reads: "Drain edamame thoroughly and pat dry with towels." Surface water has to boil off before anything can brown. Drying at step 2 means the food sears in the first minute instead of steaming.

Can I make Garlic Edamame gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Garlic Edamame is 1 tbsp soy sauce. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. Everything else proceeds as written.

Is Garlic Edamame low-carb?

A serving of Garlic Edamame carries 10 g of carbohydrate, 5 g of it fiber. Against a strict 20 g keto day that is 50 percent of the budget; against a moderate 100 g low-carb day it is 10 percent.

Does Garlic Edamame contain sesame?

Yes: 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, soy and sesame. Seeds used as a garnish can simply be left off; the oil has no true substitute. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How much protein is in Garlic Edamame?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) has 12 g of protein in about 160 calories, alongside 10 g carbohydrate and 9 g fat, plus 5 g fiber and 420 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list. More like it: the high-protein appetizer collection.
