WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
This recipe is proof that something so simple can be incredibly satisfying. Frozen edamame cooks quickly, requires no thawing, and always comes out vibrant and flavorful.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE EDAMAME
– Frozen edamame pods (I usually grab a frozen 12 ounce bag)
– Coarse sea salt
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add frozen edamame pods and 1 tsp salt. Cook for 4–5 minutes, until pods are bright green and slightly softened.
STEP 1: BOIL THE EDAMAME
STEP 2: DRAIN AND COOL SLIGHTY
Drain edamame and rinse briefly under cool water until comfortable to handle.
STEP 3: SEASON GENEROUSLY
Transfer pods to a shallow bowl. Sprinkle remaining 1 tsp salt in pinches between layers so seasoning coats evenly.
STEP 4: SERVE
Serve immediately when it's hot with a small bowl on the side for discarded pods and easy clean up.
PRO TIPS
- Keep the edamame frozen when cooking to avoid a mushy texture
- Add salt to the water to season the pods from the inside out
- Add red pepper flakes and chili oil for a spicy kick
