Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Edamame

    Start by rinsing the edamame under cold running water to clean them. This will remove any dirt or debris.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

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

  3. 3

    Add Edamame

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed edamame to the pot.

  4. 4

    Steam the Edamame

    Cover the pot with a lid and let the edamame steam for 5-7 minutes until they are bright green and tender.

  5. 5

    Drain and Salt

    After steaming, carefully drain the edamame in a colander. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over them while they are still warm and toss to coat evenly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the salted edamame to a serving bowl. Enjoy them warm by popping the beans out of their pods into your mouth.
