How to Make Edamame
Servings: 4
My family devours bowls of boiled edamame anytime we are at a restaurant or at home. It's super easy to make and oh-so-delicious to enjoy. This can be enjoyed all by itself as a filling snack or popped out of the pods as a protein-dense salad topping.
Equipment
- stove top
- strainer
Ingredients
- 2 cups edamame frozen or fresh, in pods
- 6 cups water
- 1 tbsp sea salt, unrefined coarse, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Bring water and salt to a boil. Add edamame and cook for 5 minutes or until the edamame are tender and easily released from their pods, yet don't release them just yet.
- Drain thoroughly and place in a serving dish.
- Sprinkle with coarse finishing salt and enjoy!
Notes
- Do not eat the outer pod, just the beans on the inside.
- I love enjoying them with just salt, yet feel free to use a dipping sauce like ginger soy sauce or some soy sauce mixed with wasabi.
- You can use fresh or frozen edamame for this recipe, both are delicious! I often find that frozen edamame comes with a packet of coarse salt to add, so look for that inside the packaging.
- Once cooked, you can enjoy it as-is or add it as a topping to a salad, vegetarian ramen or a veggie bowl.
