Authentic home cooking from Japan, with US measurements. 
Make Edamame in the Microwave!
It's the perfect season for edamame. Want to enjoy perfectly cooked edamame without using the stove?
They're sweeter and tastier than when boiled in water.
Recipe background:
While shopping, I saw a note saying, "Cook edamame in the microwave." When I asked how, I was taught this method.
Why did I ever boil water in a hot kitchen before? This way, the sweetness is concentrated, the nutrients are preserved, and the texture is just right!
