Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Edamame

    If using frozen edamame, remove it from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to thaw slightly. If using fresh edamame, rinse them under cold water to clean.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

  2. 3

    Cook Edamame

    Add the edamame beans to the boiling water. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt. Boil the edamame for 5-7 minutes until they are tender and bright green.

  3. 4

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, drain the edamame in a colander and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer the edamame to a serving bowl.

  4. 5

    Add Optional Seasonings (if desired)

    If desired, drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the warm edamame. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and serve with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
