Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Edamame
If using frozen edamame, remove it from the freezer and allow it to thaw for 5-10 minutes at room temperature. If using fresh edamame, rinse them thoroughly under cold water.

Boil Water
In a large pot, bring about 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Make sure you have enough water to cover the edamame completely.
- 3
Steam the Edamame
Once the water is boiling, add the edamame pods to the pot. Allow them to boil for 4-5 minutes until they are tender and bright green. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Drain and Season
After boiling, carefully drain the edamame in a colander to remove excess water. While they are still hot, sprinkle sea salt over the edamame pods. Toss gently to distribute the salt evenly.

Serve
Transfer the seasoned edamame to a serving bowl and enjoy warm. You can serve them with extra sea salt on the side for those who prefer more seasoning.
