Boiled Edamame image

This is served as an appetizer at my favorite Asian restaurant. I copied this recipe from About.com. Edamame are green soybeans. Salt-boiled edamame in pods are eaten by squeezing beans out of pods with fingers. It's a great appetizer to serve with beer. If you have salt-boiled and frozen edamame, just thaw them in the fridge.

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 lb fresh edamame or 1 lb frozen edamame, in pods
2 tablespoons and more salt (The desirable amount of salt vary, depending on the amount of water to boil edamame.)

Steps:

  • Cut off the stem end of each pod.
  • Wash edamame well and put in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of salt and rub edamame with salt. (If you are using frozen edamame, please start from the next step.)
  • Boil lots of water in a large pot. Add about 2 Tbsp of salt in the boiling water. Put edamame in the boiling water and boil for 3 to 4 minutes, or softened. Drain edamame in a colander.
  • Taste one edamame and if it's not salty enough, sprinkle more salt over boiled edamame.
  • Spread the edamame on a flat tray to cool.
