Fresh Pods, Water, Salt – Nothing Else

Plain and Simple

  • Put fresh (or frozen) pods in lightly salted, boiling water
  • Cook for six to twelve minutes, depending on the variety and desired taste
  • Drain in a colander and then place edamame in a bowl
  • Sprinkle coarse salt on top and serve warm. Pair with a nice cold beer for a delicious snack.

This is the common and classic way to eat edamame. The pods should not be eaten; rather the beans are "pulled out". There are many variations on this classic preparation. For example, the cooked pods can also be fried with some oil – and become especially tasty with some added sesame, ginger or cayenne pepper!

To boil or to steam? Both methods work. The important factor is the amount of cooking time. Just try it like pasta: Cook the edamame for the right amount of time to achieve your own preferred taste and texture.
