Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Water

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

  2. 2

    Add Edamame

    Once the water is boiling, add 2 cups of edamame pods to the pot.

  3. 3

    Steam the Edamame

    Allow the edamame to boil for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender but still firm.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Using a colander, drain the edamame and then transfer them to a serving bowl. Sprinkle 1 tsp of sea salt over the edamame and toss to coat evenly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the steamed edamame warm, either as an appetizer or a snack. Enjoy by popping the beans out of the pods with your fingers.
