The way you boil edamame changes both its flavor and color. Take a little extra care to make them taste their best. They’ll turn out perfectly seasoned.

About this recipe:
I love edamame, so I put in a little extra effort to boil them just right.

3 tablespoonssalt (about 40 grams)

Steps

1

Trim both ends of the edamame pods. Sprinkle about one-third of the salt (about 1 tablespoon) over the edamame and rub them together with your hands to remove the fuzz.
2

Bring 4 1/4 cups (1 liter) of water to a boil. Add the remaining salt, then add the edamame (with the salt still on them) to the boiling water.
3

Once the water returns to a boil, cook the edamame until they are just slightly firm, about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to a colander to cool. Taste one to check for doneness.
4

For brighter color, cool the edamame quickly—if possible, fan them to help them cool faster. That’s it!
5

Note:
If using black edamame, increase the boiling time to about 12–15 minutes. Taste one to check for doneness.
6

Fresh edamame rice is also recommended. It’s even tastier with black edamame. Recipe ID: 18391665
