This hurts. I love edamame and this sounds delicious, but I'm allergic to sesame oil. What oil would be the very best substitute?

Peanut oil will hold up well to the heat. If you're allergic to nuts then plain canola oil will work well too! The thing about oil is they have different "smoke" points (they don't all hold up the same way under high heat). The trick is to mix a low smoke oil with a high smoke tolerant oil to avoid a burnt taste, you only need to do this trick if you have to. You could very well use clarified butter with a bit of peanut/canola oil and it would still work fine!

This looks fantastic and so simple. Do you mix these during cooking or just let them bake and do their thing?
