Servings 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound (454g) Frozen Edamame (in the pod)
- Flaky Sea Salt to finish
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce or Tamari for dipping
OPTIONAL FOR SEASONING
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 Cloves Garlic minced
- ½ tsp Chili Flakes or Chili Oil
- Squeeze of Lemon or Lime
Instructions
- Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a pot fitted with a steamer basket. Add the frozen edamame.
- Cover, and steam for 5–7 minutes, or until tender and bright green.
- Immediately toss with flaky sea salt (or any desired seasonings) and serve warm alongside some soy sauce for dipping.
Notes
Always serve edamame warm or at room temp — cold makes the pods rubbery.
You eat the beans inside the pods, not the pods themselves.
Don’t have a steamer basket? You can also boil the edamame in salted water for 3–5 minutes until tender—just drain and season as usual.
