1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Mince 3 cloves garlic and add to the oil, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant but not brown.
2. Add the edamame from the package directly to the pan, still frozen, along with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir every minute or so to coat and heat through, until the beans are tender and some edges brown lightly.8 min
3. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes and 1 teaspoon sesame seeds over the top, toss once to combine, and taste for salt. Serve warm in a bowl.

Note Swap sesame for furikake if you have it, or skip it and add a squeeze of lemon. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for three days and taste good cold or reheated gently. Serve alongside steamed rice or with a piece of bread to push the beans into your mouth.
