Ingredients
Volumes are approximate. For baking, use a scale; Metric keeps the specified gram weights.
Let’s make it
- Bring the 2.2 lb water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the frozen shelled edamame and cook for the time directed on the packet, usually 4–6 minutes, until tender and hot throughout. Do not serve frozen edamame merely thawed.
- While the water heats, toast the sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until pale golden and fragrant. Tip onto a plate.
- Drain the cooked edamame thoroughly and let excess steam escape for 1 minute. Toss with the sesame oil, lime juice, lime zest and salt.
- Fold in the scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Divide equally among 4 snack bowls and add one lime wedge to each. Serve warm; refrigerate any leftovers in a covered shallow container within 2 hours, or 1 hour if the room or outdoor temperature exceeds 90°F (32°C).

Calculation notes & sources
Estimated from listed ingredient amounts and identified food-composition profiles, divided by the stated number of servings. Not laboratory analysis or kitchen testing. The ingredient-sum method uses raw or cooked food profiles matching the ingredient state. Moisture gain/loss does not change the stated serving count. No general cooking/fermentation nutrient-retention factors are applied. Unless a discard/absorption blocker is listed, all measured pan fats and sauces are assumed consumed. Actual amounts left in pans, on utensils or during cooking can reduce intake. Optional additions are excluded when noted. Calories are kcal. Protein, total carbohydrate, total fat and total sugar are grams. Total carbohydrate includes fiber; these are not net carbs. No %DV or FDA-compliance claim. Null means unavailable, never zero. Sodium and fiber are omitted because retention, brands, rinsing and missing source rows make them less reliable here. One lime modeled as USDA 44 g juice yield; peel is not eaten. Lime zest uses a named 100% unsweetened frozen-zest profile as the closest documented reference for fresh zest; total carbohydrate includes its specified fiber.
