Prepare the Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

Boil
Allow the edamame to boil for about 5-6 minutes for fresh edamame or 3-5 minutes for frozen edamame, until they are tender but still firm.

Using a colander, drain the edamame and rinse them briefly under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Season
While the edamame are still warm, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sea salt and toss to combine. If using optional seasonings, drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for extra flavor.
