Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Edamame

    If using frozen edamame, remove them from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes. If using fresh edamame, rinse under cold water.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Boil Water

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

  2. 3

    Cook Edamame

    Once the water is boiling, add the edamame pods to the pot. Cook for 4-5 minutes for fresh edamame or 3-4 minutes for frozen edamame, until the pods are tender and bright green.

  3. 4

    Drain and Season

    Using a colander, drain the edamame pods and return them to the pot. Sprinkle with 1 tsp of salt (and red pepper flakes if using). Toss to coat the pods evenly.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the seasoned edamame to a serving bowl. Serve warm with soy sauce for dipping and lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
