Edamame Recipe-March 2024-www.zdask.com

　　Edamame—fresh soybeans—are rarely seen “fresh” in this country, but they’re now sold frozen at most supermarkets. You buy them still in their pods and pop the little beans out to eat them (the pods are inedible). Eaten as a little snack at the table or as a side dish, with no more than salt, they’re rather great.

Ingredients

makes 4 servings

　　Coarse salt

　　1 pound edamame

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Add the edamame (still frozen is fine) and cook until bright green and tender, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2

Drain, sprinkle with coarse salt, and serve.
