Edamame with Sea Salt and Sesame

Instructions

1. 1Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot with enough water to generously cover the edamame pods. Place the pot on the stove over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
2. 2Carefully add the about 450 g of frozen edamame pods to the boiling water. Stir them gently to ensure they are all submerged. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the pods are tender when squeezed lightly. You can test one by carefully removing it from the pot and squeezing it between your fingers.
3. 3Prepare a colander by placing it in or over the sink. Once the edamame is tender, carefully pour the contents of the pot into the colander to drain away all the hot water. Gently shake the colander to remove any excess water.
4. 4Transfer the drained edamame pods to a serving bowl. Immediately sprinkle the 1 teaspoon of sea salt evenly over the hot edamame. Toss gently to distribute the salt.
5. 5Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds over the edamame. Toss again gently to combine the sesame seeds with the edamame and salt.
6. 6Serve the edamame warm immediately.
