Ingredients

1 lb (about 450g) frozen edamame in pods
6 cups water (for boiling) OR 2 cups water (for steaming)
1-2 tablespoons flaky sea salt (such as Maldon) OR coarse sea salt (such as kosher salt)

Instructions

1
Choose your cooking method: For boiling, fill a medium pot with 6 cups of water. For steaming, add about 2 inches (2 cups) of water to a pot and place a steamer basket inside.
2
Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat (for boiling) or to a strong simmer (for steaming).
3

If boiling, cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the edamame are vibrant green and tender-crisp. Avoid overcooking, which can make them mushy.

If steaming, cover the pot and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until they are vibrant green and tender-crisp. Steaming often yields a slightly firmer texture.

While still hot, generously sprinkle with the flaky or coarse sea salt. Toss gently to ensure an even coating of salt on all pods. The heat will help the salt adhere.
