Fresh Edamame

Serves 4 as a snack or appetizer

  • About 3 quarts water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons (or to taste) salt for boiling, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 pound fresh edamame pods, well washed
  • Soy sauce for dipping, optional

Fill a 4-quart saucepan about 3/4 full with water. Add salt and bring to a rolling boil. Add edamame  and boil 6 to 10 minutes. Test for tenderness: edamame should be firm, yet give to the teeth; they're overcooked if mushy. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. Sprinkle with salt to taste if desired. Serve warm or refrigerate 1 to 2 hours to serve cold. Serve with soy sauce for dipping.
