Method

Main

1

Bring water to a boil

Place 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan large enough to hold the edamame. Add 1 tablespoon of coarse sea salt and bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

2

Cook the edamame

Add 1 cup frozen edamame in pods straight from the freezer to the boiling water. Stir once to separate the pods and return to a boil. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the pods are bright green and tender when sampled (3 minutes for firmer, 5 minutes for softer).

3

Drain and dry

Immediately drain the edamame in a colander and shake off excess water. Return the drained pods to the empty warm pot or a bowl to let steam evaporate for about 1 minute so they are not waterlogged.

Finishing & Serving

4

Season

While the pods are still hot, drizzle 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil over them and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1 teaspoon flaky salt (or to taste). If using, add 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for heat.

5

Toss and serve

Toss or shake the pods gently so the oil and seasonings coat them evenly. Serve the edamame hot or warm with lemon or lime wedges on the side for each diner to squeeze over their portion if desired.

How to eat

To eat, hold a pod at both ends, squeeze or bite the edge to pop the beans into your mouth, discarding the pod. Do not eat the pods.
