Edamame

Sweet, delicious soybeans are packed with protein and fun to eat. Suck the beans into your mouth and provide a bowl for the empty pods.

About 1 pound of edamame

Coarse salt to taste

Fill a 5 quart kettle with water and bring to a boil. Have a bowl of ice and cold water ready. Cook edamame in boiling water until bright green, about 2 minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain edamame well and trim stem ends for easier eating. Toss edamame with salt to taste.
