EASY Edamame Recipe Japanese (枝豆の作り方)

Pluck the edamame pods off the stems or use scissors to cut the tips of the pods off.

Add a splash of water to the edamame and a handful of sea salt to use as an abrasive.

Rub the pods in salt to remove fine hairs.

Wash the edamame in cold water to remove the hairs.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add enough sea salt to make the water taste like the ocean.

Add the edamame to the boiling water and let it boil for about 6 to 9 minutes, depending on the size of the beans.

Check the edamame after 6 minutes; they should release their beans when bitten but not be too soft.

Drain the edamame and sprinkle more sea salt on the outside of the pods while still hot.

Plate the edamame and serve.
