Ingredients
• 1 pound of frozen young soybeans in the pod (edamame)
• 1 tablespoon of sea salt
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Add the frozen edamame to the boiling water and allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the edamame is tender and bright green.
- Drain the edamame in a colander and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Transfer the edamame to a serving bowl or platter.
- While the edamame is still warm, sprinkle it with the sea salt. Toss the edamame to ensure they are evenly coated with salt.
- Serve the edamame warm, or at room temperature, as a nutritious starter.
Q1: How can I tell when the edamame is cooked and ready to be taken off the heat?
A1: The edamame is ready when it becomes tender and turns a vibrant bright green color. This usually takes about 5 minutes of cooking in boiling water.
Q2: Can I use fresh edamame pods instead of frozen ones for this recipe?
A2: Yes, you can use fresh edamame pods. The cooking time might be slightly less than for frozen ones, so start checking for doneness after about 3 minutes.
Q3: How long can I store the leftover steamed edamame, and should it be refrigerated?
A3: Leftover steamed edamame can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. Ensure the edamame is cooled to room temperature before storing to maintain its freshness.
