- 1/4 bag of frozen edamame
- some salt
Directions:
The most important thing is finding a bag of frozen edamame. Most Asian supermarket should carry it in their frozen food section.
Boil water in a pan with some salt, and pour about 1/4 of the bag (for two people, roughly).
Some should start floating, but it’s probably ready to eat in 3 to 4 minutes. Remember, when you buy it frozen, it’s already cooked, so all you are doing is defrosting it in the hot water, so there’s no need to overcook.
Drain the water out, and serve on a bowl. I usually sprinkle some salt on top when I serve. Don’t forget to have an extra bowl out on the table for the pod/shell.
