Recipe Notes

Serving Size

One serving equals approximately one small cup.  Increase the serving size to up to 220 g, 1/3 of the recipe, for a bigger meal.  This is still low FODMAP and includes the upper low FODMAP limit for edamame of 90 g.

Leftovers

Refrigerate in an airtight containing for up to four days.

More Flavour

Add sriracha sauce to the dressing to add more flavour and heat.  Sriracha has been tested by Monash and is low FODMAP in amounts up to 1 tsp (5 g), as it contains small amounts of garlic.  However, avoid it if you struggle with spicy food as tt may still trigger symptoms in IBS due to the chilli content.

Additional toppings

Top with sesame seeds or chopped peanuts (both are low FODMAP).

Enjoy!
