  1. Bring 1.5 l of water

    In a large pot, bring 1.5 l (1.6 qt) of water to a rolling boil.

  2. Add 15g of sea salt and the 450g of edamame pods

    Add 15g (1 tbsp) of sea salt and the 450g (1 lb) of edamame pods to the boiling water.

  3. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes

  4. Drain the edamame

    Drain the edamame in a colander. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with additional sea salt to taste.

A little kitchen wisdom

For the best flavor, use fresh edamame if available, but frozen pods work perfectly well and are often more accessible. Do not overcook, or the beans will lose their characteristic snap.
